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. Fred Foldvary
