  • Why does some faux fur recommend dry cleaning?

    I was in a sporting goods store and noticed that some trooper style hats used rabbit fur, and some synthetic fur. The real fur recommended professional fur cleaning, which I know makes sense, because if the hide gets saturated with water it can stiffen and shrink when it dries. (I learned that from experience.)

    But the synthetics recommended dry cleaning. I don't understand what harm hand washing in water could do to synthetics.

  • "My opponents' deficiencies make me right." Is there a standard name for this.?

    Ad hominem attacks are one version of this, but it could often be about allegedly unsuccessful actions rather than alleged character flaws. Politicians and advertisers do it all the time, competitors often using the identical fallacy of logic against each other to promote themselves. The other guys' plan, product, etc. created or failed a solve a problem, so that proves that the one I'm touting must be good.
