It is important to know and understand fallacies because they prevent the media from brainwashing you, so if you know what they are then you are better prepared not to fall into the trap that the media they set out to capture the minds of those who don't know any better. For example, if a politician is trying to make a case to limit gun control and raises a case that there are no gun restrictions in Australia and violence has been committed. You will know that this is not a valid argument because it is illogical to think that just because something is true in one country it will not also be true in another country. So, just because crime has decreased in Australia, crime will also decrease in the United States; they are two completely different countries with very little in common. Trying to prove that this is a logical argument is like trying to argue that birds and fish are related. Knowing what a bad enhancement is is just as important as knowing what makes a good enhancement because you will know that another person is trying to deceive themselves
