        Also, refuting the central point is way too easy to be at the top, no? Seems to me that counterargument would be the hardest. Most work.

        Yes but, to do so, I generally have to switch to posting a 50-100 word screen-grab from my notepad, introducing it with a tweet & a link

        Good point. Difficult to do in twitter's character count. One must be creative and concise. I like the self-reply chain method.

        Me too, but I also worry people might say, 'look at him hogging the stage because he doesn't understand the issues well enough.

        They would be right in many cases, of course, for that's also why I come here, to test my logic and perception, too as I attempt to debunk

        Bottom 4 tiers used so frequently bc the users not aware of how to do top 3, esp top 1. But then 140 chars, even in thread, often insuffic.

        haha twitter's arguments are full of syllogistic fallacies; both formal and informal. a small treasure for a scholar of the topic.

        Would be nicer if based on argumentation theory, but I guess that subject, a mere 2300 years old, is still immature.

        Also, ad hominem arguments may be perfectly acceptable & valid, eg, when countering witness testimony. This is why courts allow them.

        You sure? My impression is that opposite side would object to and discipline ad hominem perps. Remains unacceptable till guilty as charged.

        Basic principle of legal defence is to cast doubt on reliability of other side's witness testimony. How better to do this than adhom args.
