“While Dr. Carson’s voice still predominates in the third edition, I have updated Exegetical Fallacies in three ways…. 1. I have removed some less relevant examples and added new ones, including some new fallacies. This third edition is about 30% longer than the second edition.” - Andy Naselli

Usually all but one or two of those reasons make as much sense as the red fire truck.
