You'll never watch a political debate the same way again...
I just came across this. Very useful when dealing with zealots, enemy disinformation, propaganda, character assassination in the media, revisionists, political speeches and addresses, etc...
e.g. Inflation Of Conflict:
arguing that scholars debate a certain point. Therefore, they must know nothing, and their entire field of knowledge is "in crisis" or does not properly exist at all. For example, two historians debated whether Hitler killed five million Jews or six million Jews. A Holocaust denier argued that this disagreement made his claim credible, even though his death count is three to ten times smaller than the known minimum.
Reminds me of a recent OT thread.
For another example, propaganda techniques used by extreme environmentalists.
