This is a list of laughable arguments I hear too often. While my background is software engineering, I believe that these are quite common at any fields.
I don’t believe there’s a need to clarify why they’re poor arguments, but I may rant about each one whenever I feel like doing it.
This practice is great, you are just doing it wrong
We’ve tried it in the past, it doesn’t work
It feels good for me, therefore it’s good
This respectable person said it, therefore it’s good
Everyone is doing it, therefore it’s good
I’m not used to this, so it’s not good to use it
This approach doesn’t suit an specific situation, therefore it’s bad
You’ve made two errors last week, therefore your opinion on the matter is not valid
