Thanissaro Bhikkhu's academic inquiry...

Academic?

...is interesting, but I still don't see the relevance to either formal or informal fallacies...,

My OP topic is a claim to philosophy in general, not just logic

...as Socrates is not known to have dealt with them.

If I might be forgiven for copypasta:
