Lol, the most interesting thing about this post, is that I used to point fallacies out like that, and then just dismiss the entire thing, up until very recently.

It is amazing how many tricks we have for dismissing other folks out of hand, isn't it? Strangely, high achievers are often skilled at that art - I suppose because it lets them stay focused. It is true that many of them are careful listeners once they achieve leadership roles, but it's built of a base of figuring out who to listen carefully to - and who to dismiss out of hand. It's a funny world we live in :)
