should I be quick to point out all logical fallacies I catch?<|im_end|>

While it's important to identify logical fallacies in a debate, it's not always necessary to point them out every time you catch one. Doing so may come across as argumentative or confrontational, and can distract from the main points being discussed.

Instead, consider addressing the underlying issues or flaws in the argument without necessarily labeling them as a specific fallacy. You can point out where the argument seems weak or where the evidence provided is insufficient. This approach can help keep the debate focused and productive, rather than getting bogged down in semantics.

Of course, if your opponent repeatedly uses the same logical fallacy or relies heavily on fallacious reasoning, it may be appropriate to call them out on it. However, always approach the situation with a level head and strive to maintain respect.<|im_end|>
