    It’s still fair to critics someone’s fallacious argument, though, even if their conclusion happens to be correct. If I say “The sky is blue because it’s actually a big sapphire, my neighbour Bob told me so” it’s clearly a bad argument, even if the conclusion - that the sky is blue - is correct.

      Indeed. But here their argument isn’t incorrect.
