Whenever we are judging, not only whether something is true or
false, but also whether something is a fallacy/fallacious move or not, we
therefore have to take into consideration the circumstances, the audience, the
purposes of communication (and related argumentation) as well as the in
tentions of the utterer. And when we do, we also have to bear in mind the
following (Hamblin, 1970/2004: p. 242):
When there are two or more parties to be considered, an argument may
be acceptable in different degrees to different ones or groups, and a dia
lectical appraisal can be conducted on a different basis accord-
ing to which party or group one has in mind; but again
The choice of arguments, criteria and acceptability of their use is
therefore always a matter that only the parties involved in the argumenta
tive discussion can decide on. According to their knowledge at the time of the
discussion, the circumstances in which the discussion takes place, the audi
ences that are involved in the discussion, the purposes and intentions the par
ties in the discussion have. And since these discussions take place in natu-
ral languages, in particular circumstances and at specific times, logic as an
artificial system can’t really help.
