Semiotics, A Case Study

It isn't my habit to do "shoutouts" for their own sake. But here is an excellent post, with quite useful definitions as regards the Twatson debacle.

Definition: Argumentum ad himinem is an attempt to link the truth of a claim to a negative characteristic or belief of the person advocating it. Closely related to ad hominem, literal Latin “to the man”, this is instead “to the male” and removes gender ambiguity

Love it!
