    I would say the opposite, it makes more sense to me to apply fallacies to arguments where as to apply it to a debate you probably have to isolate its main arguments and then apply it to those arguments individually

      Furthermore, debates are not governed by logic. A debate in of itself is a fallacy, in the sense that it is merely a popularity contest.

      If you can bullshit hard enough, or make the crowd laugh at your jokes about the person you’re debating, you’ve won.
