HINT: Poisoning The Well is reasoning that rejects a person’s anticipated statement, argument, or action by attacking that person’s character rather than examining the merits of the anticipated statement, argument or action. This argument does reject a person's statements, and it does attack that person rather than examine the merits of the statements, but it is not Poisoning The Well for two reasons. First, it does not reject anticipated statements. Second, it does not attack the other person's character.
