[Meta] How did people get the idea that pointing out (alleged) fallacies is a good strategy in an argument in the first place?

Seriously, the best possible outcome is that you look like a pedant and the people you're trying to convince either withdraw into semantics or straight up throw a drink in your face.
So, where does it come from? Is this some Debate Society thing?

This is what is known as a "Non Sequitur" Logical Fallacy. You don't get to jump from "all women are like that" to "sexism" in a debate

"You can't possibly say that "everyone" has [prejudical] biases like these, whether unconcious or not. That is a logical fallacy. It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists or all Blacks are uneducated gang members."
