I really liked how the website was put together and very easy to find the answers I was looking for and broke it down into specific parts and types of arguments. The part of the website I thought was most useful was the fallacies and non-rational persuasion because there are so many different types of fallacies and types or reasoning it is impossible to remember them all. The website does a really good job of explaining each type of fallacy and categorizes them into emotional and misdirected which I really liked. I also liked how truth, validity and sound were explained because I always had trouble differentiating the three. Validity is when the form of the argument has the premise and the conclusion in the proper relationship. Truth is the next step to when if the argument is valid we have to make sure there is truth in it. Lastly, the argument is sound if it can not be in any way false. Having it stated in such a simple way and in this order really helped me understand it.
After reading your post, i took a closer look at the fallacies section and totally agree with you. I really love how organized the website is and how easy it is to find things on there. Much easier than flipping through pages and having to look through the index. Especially when you are looking for fallacies on the website everything is listed under one section. In the book it is everywhere and honestly it is a pain sometimes to look for. A lot of what was said on the website is in the book, but i do like the examples that were provided. Good job on the post!
