I believe most judgements share some common edges with some fallacious logical forms, and yet retain some validity. Your argument, for example, has some commonality with what I would call the "fallacy" fallacy, in which one finds an insignificant echo of a fallacy in another's view and dismisses the entirety of what they have to say.


You invented a meaningless term called a fallacy fallacy and then committed exactly that. /Chef's kiss/


Reread the first sentence very carefully. The second sentence defines (i.e. gives a "meaning" to) the term.
