The use of a logical fallacy may occur for different reasons.

A: The debater lacks intelligence at least in the realm of legitimate debate.

B: The debater doesn't have much background knowledge on the topic of discussion

C: The debater is not interested in persuasion or the exhanging of ideas but in demeaning the listener and/or individual(s) who are a part of the topic of debate

There may indeed be more reasons, but these are the ones I have personally encountered.

People use logical fallacies in arguments to make their point seem stronger or persuade others. However, relying on fallacious reasoning can weaken their argument and lead to flawed conclusions. It's important to recognize and avoid logical fallacies to engage in more honest and effective communication.
