Damn, that's a lot of fallacies to remember. Wish A Level Philosophy had taught me this instead of whatever it was we actually learnt. Okay so argument from authority that's straight forward don't pull the 'so and so said it so it must be true.' Argument from incredulity is don't pull the 'well I can't picture it therefore it can't be so' card.

Affirming the consequent is 'just because A leads to B doesn't mean B leads to A' hence the Undyne example. Red herring is 'don't try and use an argument proving something for something else' and circular reasoning/begging the question is kind of going off the assumption you're right anyway or structuring the argument in a way that it leads back to only what you think is the answer.

Okay I think I've wrapped my head around most of them, I may have missed a few though whilst picking out the key parts. It's good to remind myself of these.
