Sattumalta lukeille osunut Bradley Dowdenin ikääntynyt IEP-entry Fallacies sai muistelemaan muita opastuksia argumentoinnin karikoiden väistelemiseen sosiaalisenkin median Juhannus-aallokoissa, https://iep.utm.edu/fallacy/

Wikipedian päivittyneempi lista "päättelyvirheistä" sisältää lyhyiden luonnehdintojen lisäksi linkit perusteellisempiin selostuksiin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

WayBack-masiina löytää edelleen myös Stephen Downesin mainion esityksen, jota hyödynsin omassa opetuksessani kolme vuosikymmentä sitten, https://web.archive.org/web/20110411024958/http:/onegoodmove.org/fallacy/toc.htm . Mukana oli jopa "listan" käyttöohje, jossa varoiteltiin nimikkeillä hutkimisesta, https://web.archive.org/web/20110514190427/http:/onegoodmove.org/fallacy/howto.htm

Tällaisten kertaaminen aina silloin tällöin voi auttaa purjehtimaan nykyajassa vastuullisena episteemisenä agenttina.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Q. What is the best thing to do when people you meet casually — say a taxicab driver or an office receptionist — make violently prejudiced (and untrue) remarks about a minority race? Usually I just keep my mouth shut. But is this really right? It seems to me that perhaps in keeping silent I am actually condoning these vicious remarks.
 
A. I rather think the time has come when keeping silent, if other people say things of which you cannot approve, is an escape from doing something disagreeable. Everyone has a right to his own opinion and to state it, therefore I do not think one should be heated or angry over what other people say; but if silence seems to give approval, then remaining silent is cowardly. I think one should say, “I have evidently had different experiences from what you have had, and I find on the whole that thus and so seems true.” It may lead to an argument and it may require restraint and patience on both sides, but it will often clear up misconceptions and show that there are two points of view, and that it is possible to discuss questions on a reasonable basis even when feelings are involved as well as facts.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1944-09), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 61

「ごめんなさい」――このたった一言が、喉に突き刺さった魚の骨のように、どうしても言えなかった経験はないか？ 友人との些細な口論で、売り言葉に買い言葉で、気づけばお互いに引けなくなってしまったことは？ そして、心のどこかで「先に謝ったら負けだ」なんて、ちっぽけなプライドを握りしめて

I'm still amazed at how some people with extreme religious or political views online get so carried away.
They rarely make any valid arguments and just end up insulting others, thinking that counts as "winning" the debate.
