Note this is not trying to change… I is trying to document what we do now. 

On https://www.iab.org/wp-content/IAB-uploads/2011/04/Bormann.pdf

I am trying to see what one gets if one translates the fallacies into positive actions, or answer the question on how do you cope with the fallacy. I notice that your draft observes but doesn't seem to recommend. That is not a value judgement on the text btw but it doesn't give me insight in if 'this is probably wrong' what is the right way? And more important, is there any indication we can get there? I believe we had several tries in doing something different (better, was the intention of all those that took part in that debate) but we never reached consensus. That is why this is not trying to change, but tries to document the realities.


Have a nice weekend.
