>To prove your point, right?
To educate.
>It's mostly just lazy on your part
What? If someone before me has responded to a logical fallacy in quite some detail, better than I could verbalize it then why should I not refer people to it? If I understand it and agree with it, why is it important that I express it only in my own words when my position is identical?
>And it should be obvious but examples from fiction don't prove anything.
But the speech doesn't refer to any characters or the fictional scenario, it is quite independent of the story, like someone explaining what a strawman argument is and why it is wrong to use it. At this point I question whether or not you even know what speech I am referring to and its contents.
