* 当你与别人讨论，尝试获得答案或解释时，你可能会遇到一些人犯上逻辑谬误。这样的讨论是无意义的。你可能尝试向对手要求证据或提供其他假设，令你获得更好或更简单的解释。如果都失败，可以尝试指出你讨论对手的问题。你可辨认他的逻辑问题以免深究，以及可告知讨论对手关於他的谬误。以下是简单介绍其中最常见的谬误： 人身攻击（ad hominem） o 拉丁语「向着人」的意思。辩者用人身攻击来攻击对手，而不是在讨论议题。当辩者不能用证据、事实或理由去维护他的立场，他可能透过标签、稻草人、骂人、挑衅及愤怒的人身攻击方式来攻击对手。 诉诸无知（appeal to ignorance / argumentum ex silentio） o 以诉诸无知作为某些证据。（例如：我们没有证据说神不存在，所以祂一定存在。又例如：由於我们没有关於外星人的知识，这表示他们并不存在。）对某些东西的无知，是与它的存在与否无关。 全知论据（argument from omniscience） o （例如：所有人都相信某些东西，每个人都知道的。） 辩者需要有全知能力以清楚每个人的信仰、怀疑或他们的知识。小心如「所有」、「每个人」、「每种东西」、「绝对」等词语。

When I received a copy of James S. Valliant’s book, The Passion of Ayn Rand’s Critics: The Case Against the Brandens, I was a little apprehensive about reviewing it. It seems that every time a discussion commences about the “juicy” bits of Ayn Rand’s sexual and romantic entanglements, it takes on a life of its own, and the discussion never seems to end. Cyber-forums can’t even mention this book without provoking hundreds of rancorous posts among people who are still personally involved in the developments

After exploring both sides of the topic I’ve come to the conclusion that the pro-gambling side wins. The evidence given by the supporters seems much more concrete and numbers based while the opponents seem to appeal to the public’s pathos using fallacies such as hasty generalizations and post hoc ergo propter hoc.
