Excessive, dogmatic worship of logical fallacies as a rhetorical weapon. Practitioners of fallaciolatry memorize fallacy names and deploy them as conversation‑stoppers, often incorrectly, without engaging substance. Every argument is met with “straw man,” “ad hominem,” “slippery slope,” regardless of relevance. Fallaciolatry treats fallacy detection as the goal of reasoning, rather than understanding. It is common in online debates where one-upmanship replaces genuine inquiry. The term combines “fallacy” with “-latry” (worship), highlighting the quasi‑religious devotion to fallacy labeling.
