Arguman's fallacy system is really an anti-feature. It's impossible to separate the claim that a specific argument is a fallacy from a counter-argument. Many people seem to think that you can just take a word describing a kind of a argument, attach "fallacy" to it, and you have refuted it.

Ah, I guess I was wrong earlier when saying that this was not a problem with the tool.

Merely allowing fallacies seemingly has an adverse affect on the whole promise.

Thanks for this clarification.
