As are the four types of questions the Buddha taught, but can we generalize these teachings as similar enough to informal fallacy theory to be useful for purposes of practice?

As I pointed out above, the Kalama sutta addresses several - but not all - informal fallacies. However, I'd rather not just guess at where you're making the connection with the four kinds of questions. Would you mind elaborating a little further?

Without so much copypasta this time, if you don't mind.
