Fallacies - How arguments lie

this webpage discusses a classification of fallacies. While I don't care how you classify them, the list of fallacies (or misleading ways of arguing) is very helpful.
My favorites:
Ad hominem - we use this one all the time. While an interested party may make biased *decisions*, his logic should stand (or fall) on its own merits.
and
black&white thinking - all or nothing thinging.

I highly recomend you read the website above - and I know you trust my judgement
