Winning a Debate

Prior to last Friday's class I had no idea that there were so many different ways to prove someone wrong in an argument. I always thought that whoever came up with the best argument overall was the one most likely to win the argument. Little did I know that you could completely prove someone's argument wrong simply by using some of the false argument techniques that we learned in class. Most interesting about learning these different techniques is how many times my parents have used these techniques on me to attempt to prove my arguments wrong. Unfortunately for them they will not be able to use these techniques on me anymore as I plan on from now on calling them out when they attempt to do so.
