But before we move on, there is a vitally important lemma (a logical stepping-stone) here that shouldn’t be overlooked: the mere fact that an argument contains a logical fallacy does not necessarily render the conclusion incorrect. Ironic, isn’t it, that proclaiming a conclusion is incorrect, solely because an argument behind it is wrong, is itself a non sequitur? It is entirely possible to be right for the wrong reasons, and a poorly argued proposition does not always render a claim wrong. This error is argumentum ad logicam (argument to logic) or the fallacy fallacy.
