Does critical thinking really require good argumentation?

Original: Esprit critique = BONNE ARGUMENTATION ? (on s'en fiche des arguments fallacieux) https:// skeptikon.fr/w/hwAB4fLejvnW9xc

A French-language educational discussion is questioning whether critical thinking necessarily equals good argumentation, arguing that spotting fallacies matters less than commonly claimed. The piece asks whether the usual focus on formal debating skills and fallacy-spotting oversimplifies what it means to think critically, sparking debate among educators and science-communication enthusiasts about how critical thinking should actually be taught.

Why now: Educators and skeptics are actively debating how critical thinking should be defined and taught.
