I think the list strangely avoids a few very useful words and phrases. 5 is the fallacy of Reification, for example - really useful tag for a pervasive error.
Wittgenstein's concept of Family Resemblance would have been very useful in streamlining the several references to definition (e.g. defining a human being).
I also missed Equivocation in there.
(13 seems very dismissive of Platonic Forms - Penrose, for one, might demur.)
