  • Old Fallacies, New Examples - part 5 (Bonus)
    2026/03/24

    As you know, we occasionally go back and take a second look at fallacies we've explored before, but we're never going to get to them all, and we keep seeing examples out there, so we thought we'd gather some together in some special episodes. Kind of like this one.
