If your argument contains logical fallacies it can be faulted on those grounds.Logical fallacies may make you look unintelligent.

Argument.
of Reason, The act or process of adducing a reason or reasons; manner of presenting one's reasons., That which is offered in argument; proofs or reasons when arranged and developed; course of argument.
The term twisted logic is used to mean that an argument has been stated which has the form of a logical argument, in which premises are used to derive conclusions for seemingly logical reasons, however the argument isn't actually logical; it contains hidden errors of logic. This is extremely common. Very few people, in my observation, ever have a truly logical argument about anything. People care much more about winning arguments than they do about being logical or honest.

Argument
The process of deductive reasoning is a simple one. The reader reasons from one or more statements (also known as the premises) to reach a logical conclusion.
A fallacy is an argument that has poor or inappropriate reasoning, which therefore tends to make the argument either invalid or inconclusive. As a result, fallacies are generally weaker than arguments with concrete logic.On the other hand, there are times where writers use intentional fallacies (as a cover argument), in an attempt to highlight the opposite of what the fallacy states, thereby emphasizing their true argument. This may be for comic, satirical, or logical reasons.
