2. If people think they're correct the fallaciousness matters not to them
I mean, a fallacious argument in service of the truth is OK to people. It's not hard to see.

7. My God I was an art major in college. Formal logic???
I walked out of the first class then had to retake it. I did very bad. Most of my classes was pushing me to think right off the wall and that I did very well.

10. Kick
A forum where access is based on a passing grade to that test would be an interesting place to discuss current events.
