* An arguement which is structurally fallacious in some respect is therefore structurally false in all respects* Are you talking about logical fallacies? In that case, I guess you are referring to "logic" when you talk about "structurally fallacious in some respect". Thinking of it in binary terms might help - an argument that uses a logical fallacy is worth Zero. * An argument which is structurally false in some respect, or even in EVERY respect is therefore substantively false in its conclusion.* Again, assuming you are referring to logical fallacies by "structurally false" - You are right, use of a logical fallacy as argument does not necessarily mean that the point is false. Its bearer might be right like a stopped watch is right twice a day. Rarely, and only by coincidence, that is... * Sound thinking is merely thinking which is not fallacious. What? :-)
