In this chapter the narrator talks about logical fallacies and what he calls the "Seven Deadly Sins. "The "Seven Deadly Sins" are, false comparisons, bad examples, ignorance, tautology, false choice, the red herring, and the wrong ending. A Logical fallacy, has either bad proof, a bad conclusion, or both! Saying one will most likely hurt your ethos, and people won't trust you when saying it. Here's a good "bad" example from page 137, "Elephants are animals, We are animals, therefore we are elephants." So basically if you put it in my words, if you say something that's dumb, no one would listen to you. They're also most likely to ignore you in the future because they would reference you for your "ignorance."
