[This article tracks rather closely with the Logical Fallacies ]

I had never heard of the Fallacies so I just ran a Google search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy). I suppose any systemic analysis would fall into that massive list as a subset, wouldn't it, as it seems to list all known forms of every logical representation (arguments, positions, strategies,etc.). Mastering that list would impart a kind of god-like knowledge wouldn't it? Has anyone ever been able to converse fluently in those terms?

I don't know how to post a link but you will get a pretty good overview of the Logical Fallacies by typing this address: csun.edu/~dgw61315/fallacies.html

This article tracks rather closely (eerily, in fact) with the Communist Parties actual instructions for its media people of the late 1930's on how to report Soviet 'news'.
