‘Ad hominem’ is not a logical fallacy. Fallacy is used in an absurdly severe way – only. Anything that is a useful shortcut to the truth is valuable, and 90% of the time, or more, knowing the man leads to the motive leads to the truth. Let’s not disdain what actually works and quickly. Where ad hominem is wrong is when someone with character flaws speaks the truth and dishonest people use his flaws to attack the truth he uttered. Kanye West on jews is a good example of this.
