This is not a useful remark without support. If there are fallacies in your interlocutor's case, name the fallacies and pair them with the instances that occur. The burden is on you to make obvious to your reader how your opponent is failing to make sense; if you fail to meet that burden, you're not arguing, but throwing shade. I personally find the disputes over this topic difficult to follow, and would prefer that the arguments be presented in the form of syllogisms. Regards, Branden
