To expand on this, if someone says "you just used a slippery slope [1] argument and therefore your claim is false," don't respond by citing the fallacy fallacy [2]. Instead, make an analogy (preferably one unrelated to the topic at hand and a second one more germane) to illustrate the unfounded leap.

Partly because fallacies go by many names and are not well understood. Partly since many cultures associate "your argument is illogical" with "you are stupid".

I think pointing out some fallacies aren't that bad. For example, pointing out a "strawman" is a good way to signal to the other party that they're attacking stances that aren't even yours.

If a position is so poorly conceived that the simplest thing to do is to point out that it is logically invalid, then, no, you've done your job.

Yes, logical fallacies can be misused and abused. But the power is in the name: committing one of these tactics, legitimately, is logically false and invalid. It invalidates an argument.

Pointing out that your opponnent is lying dying and bleeding out on the ground doesn't lose you a fight.

If only more people understood this.

Pointing out a fallacy might as well be a fallacy itself.
