During summer break while I was in college many moons ago, I took a formal logic class at U Mass Boston, mainly because I'm a geek. All we did is learn formal definitions of logical fallacies.
It was awful.
But easy As pad the transcript no matter what.
I love off topic threads.

I took Critical Reasoning in college. It was one of my favorite and most useful classes.

Nice list but it's missing #31: Continuing to spend money you don't have when you've already dug a more-than $18,000,000,000,000 hole.
In my defense it was already off-topic...

And itself a wicked awesome demonstration of a false equivalency!

I was a politics, legal studies and philosophy major at a majorly (think Abbie Hoffman) lefty school - everything was critical reasoning (ignoring law school, which was essentially critical legal studies 201! for a year - we didn't even have Contracts!). |

Critical reasoning/thinking going with far-left politics...yeah that's not tracking. The ignoring law part makes sense though. |

Critical reasoning has nothing to do with politics, literally or figuratively. Not sure if serious... |

"Ignoring law" is certainly not what we did (especially if you have any notion of what law is). What does "tracking" mean? |
