Writing Strategy and CBM

I can only be fallacious if I'm making a formal logic argument. I'm expressing a judgment or even opinion, and my opinions and judgments are as valid as any other opinion or judgment.

But, please note that I am not making a judgment on intent. I don't know or care about the mod author's intent. I do know for a fact that I see a lot of misinformation being spread to newbies because people can't keep CBM rules and the actual game rules separate in their minds. Just by existing and being promoted it lowers the overall knowledge base of the community, which is good for individuals who are good at keeping those rules straight when their MP opponents aren't.

Hence the OP's complaint.

Without going into specifics of CBM or any other mod, it's easy to see how multiple sets of rules are worse than one official one. That said, looking it up when joining a game isn't that hard.
