    I have to disagree. People use logical argument all the time in
    their attempts to persuade, or to justify their actions. Bush and
    Major and company offered at least 4 different arguments for the
    invasion of Iraq, one after the other as each preceding argument was
    proved fallacious. I think, using logical and evidentiary analysis,
    the persuasiveness of an argument can be reduced to near 0. Which in
    some circumstance might save lives.

    Or so it seems to me..
