Unfortunately, we all individuals do make some or the other error in reasoning. This errors cold either be in own words, or it might be when any two persons are debating among each other with an issue with some other person involved into the debate procedures. Thus, when reason fails individuals are mainly found to commit or make some defective or unsound argument.
