I think that a concept that needed further discussion is section B in chapter 11 titled “Structural Fallacies”. I think that even though they provided a chart labeling the fallacy type and also with the similar type of valid or strong argument, I believe that they could have further discussed this concept. They should have gave more examples and made them more easily to understand the differences between each type of fallacy. Instead of them using the use of letters to try and explain the different fallacies they should have maybe used complete sentences with concepts that made it easier of people to grasp. But for the overall chapter on “Fallacies: A summary of bad arguments”, I think that the book did a great job at explaining all the other concepts within the chapter. They had a lot of examples to easily explain the concepts at hand and they did a great job at breaking down each concept in a way that I was able to easily understand.
