Help me make this hub the best it can be!

I read it.
It was one long critter...
If your intended emphasis is strictly to explain logic, then I recommend using non-political/non-religious examples.
Otherwise, many readers won’t get past that; believing the example is the message, as opposed to understanding that the explanation of logic was the message.
Many readers can’t handle simultaneous concepts… Just a thought.
Yeah, I felt that might be an issue. I ended up using a lot of creationist examples because, quite frankly, they make them so often.
I tried as best I could to use "balanced" fallacies. I wanted people to be aware that people use these in real life, not just in some obvious way.
I'll try to re-work some examples.
I think you've done pretty well on your own, I doubt if it will be the most sought after though. I reckon it will grow on its own in time.
Thanks John! I know it isn't the world's most interesting topic, but I found it interesting
Oh I found it more than interesting, some of your explanations are amongst the clearest I've seen. Can't answer for my fellow men though:-)
I think you've done a very nice job on the hub. It is a bit long, but it's an interesting read.
You need to do some keyword research though. Your title and URL use "local fallacies" and that keyword gets little to no traffic. "Logical fallacy," on the other hand, does (surprisingly), and the CPC isn't horrible either. You can't change your URL, but I would add "logical fallacy" to your tags, and I would change your hub title to be "Logical Fallacy: Logical Fallacies..."

Do you agree with the new logical fallacy? I've seen it very active on HP. Have you?An Appeal to Righteous Indignation similarly attempts to place an idea beyond the reach of critique, but it employs a different mechanism. Rather than suggesting that the idea itself is privileged...

What are your best examples to easily identify errors of logic and faulty reasoning?Whether it's false cause, circular reasoning, faulty analogies, etc., logic seems to elude all of us in our discussions. We can often recognize that an argument doesn't make sense, but often we aren't able to...

Atheist Logical Fallacies?What is the worst use of logic that you have seen someone use to attempt poorly to discredit the infinite laws of the universe? (Infinite laws of the universe = God)I mean - it is absolutely pathetic how people like to believe that 1. atheism equals brains, and that...
