I was discussing the logical fallacy of
False Attribution with one of my students, and we both found ourselves trespassing onto unhallowed ground. We concluded that a knowledge of the fallacy could be used for evil, as well as good... and we both admitted to sometimes faking a knowledge of factual sources in order to win an argument. Reprehensible I know, but one can't deny that faking can sometimes be fun.
