Great list, and fascinating. Your text needs a look-over by a copyeditor and/or proofreader, though.

This would be so much more useful if it were in text. Appears to be locked, as my OCR couldn’t get a thing from it. Just wanted to put it in my personal journal for reference, but as a photo the text is way too small to read & photo editing on the phone wouldn’t work, either 🙁
Great list, although unfortunately there’s a logical fallacy between the premise and title. Just because an argument is illogical it doesn’t mean you’re going to lose it.
