I don't disagree with you, they just don't have to be characterized. I'm not trained to look at words that way but I am trained to look for holes. I think there's a nice synergy between you and me in this.
In content we agree. However when you say "I am trained to look for holes" you are saying the same thing I am. The "holes" are fallacies, whether you recognize this or not.
Using logic consciously is to "explicitly" use logic. To use logic (look for holes) without realizing that logic is to tool to discover such "holes" is using logic "implicitly." That is what Aristotle did, define the rules of logic that made men not animals.
Reason and logic are the tools of the human mind. Explicitly or implicitly, it is all reason, and THEREFORE, logic.
This is mostly an exercise for me, pointing out fallacies. It makes it almost automatic in my daily life. That is the purpose.
