Too strong; one does not need for them to always happen.
In response to the question you meant to ask, Yvain said it well
One does if one presents the reasoning as an unqualified logical deduction. That is the realm where most of these 'logical fallacies' apply.
But that's an unreasonable standard to hold people to. If the argument can be made sound by adding a load of "will probably tend to..." operators, you should do so, not nitpick.
