I’m not sure the word fallacy means what you think it means


A mistaken belief; an unsound argument.


yeah and what we're describing here is a disagreement in opinion, not a factual inaccuracy.


It doesn’t help your argument to start debating petty, irrelevant things (e.g. did they use “fallacy” correctly)


it doesn't help their argument to start off with "this is a falacy"
