when I was...oh, about 14. Two men were debating in their campaign for a seat on the local (Houston TX) school board.

I do not remember a lot except that one of the guys seemed pretty intelligent and the other was a moron. I don't remember their names, but the intelligent guy had an Americanized name of Eastern European origin.

The other guy kept harping on the fact that the first guy wouldn't use his real name. That is about the only argument the moron had (John Bircher). "Why don't you ask him why he won't tell us his real name."

That's when I decided that the name argument didn't have much merit....I probably was not familiar with the term "red herring" .... I was however familiar with bullshit when I encountered it.
