In security, for some reason, we run up against false reasoning an awful lot.  (This 
is somewhat separate from the psychological factors affecting "reasoning" that 
makes human beings so terrible at risk assessment.)  Hence, we tend to pass around

This page is a fairly comprehensive set, roughly divided into categories.

I'd have done better just believing everything I was taught when
I was young!  At least I'd only have been wrong once!  This way
I'm wrong all the time!                   - `Wings,' Terry Pratchett
