Derailing for Dummies

[tim]

It's amazing how many people seem to know how to apply the argument tactics listed at "Derailing for Dummies" without even having read the site. Worth a read if you've ever been told that you were taking things too personally, that you were damaging your cause by being angry, or that your experience was unrepresentative. Or if you've ever told anyone those things.

I think that, without the disclaimer, you can claim that some particular of experience was not representative of most such experiences in various mundane contexts and have it be a useful contribution to a discussion. I'm not seeing it for any of the other cases, though.
