Fwiw, in my experience, simply knowing all or as many as possible logical fallacies better enables one to recognize and discard invalid arguments quicker. It facilitates a more systematic process of elimination.
It also helps one realize and appreciate just how difficult it is to construct a correct argument, when you can quickly spot the fallacies in your own assertions. As a result, on a personal level, this has caused me to tend to read, listen, and question more, and assert less.
