I agree with most of what you say. But Socrates not only spoke of Logos he spoke of Ethos and Kairos. Bad people making good statements can often weaken an argument because no one wants to associated with lying aholes. I’m sure Hitler said something good about something, but I’m sure as hell not using his arguments.

That's ridiculous. If Hitler once made a good argument about something, that doesn't invalidate usage of that same argument by other people.

I mean really. I can't even think of a hypothetical example where that would make sense.

And Hitler fucking sucked, fuck that guy.
