does not require a 'better argument' to justify the criticism. The
criticism should stand on its own - critiquing both the content of

My point is that if someone disagrees with X, and wants to convince others
that X is false, then that person needs to offer an *argument *for not-X
that is *better *(i.e., more persuasive) than any arguments presented for
X. If you fail to *demonstrate *that my argument is somehow f

I disagree. An argument that is, it itself, fallacious, as I suggest
yours was, cannot be 'supported by a better argument' - since, as I
keep saying and you don't seem to understand, - what if the argume
