A fallacy is a widely-believed proposition, which the  
person who labels it a fallacy, believes lacks  
warrants in logic and evidence.  
  
The one asserting that it is a fallacy has the burden  
of pointing out where the warrants are lacking, and  
the one defending the propostion as not a fallacy has  
the burden of demonstrating the truth of the warrants  
and showing how the fallacy asserter was in error.  
  
There is no arrogance if this methodology is followed.
