It is no longer surprising, for me and for a minority of others, how many people in this modern technological age:

§ seem to lack the ability to use logical reasoning when writing about or discussing a subject;

§ do not research a subject for themselves using scholarly methodology and primary sources;

§ commit fallacies of reasoning such as appeal to authority and ad populum;

§ use an Internet resource such as ‘wikipedia’ as a source of information about a subject even though it is a tertiary source and thus is based on interpretive secondary sources.
