2:22 Exposing a circular argument certainly doesn't make it false, in fact, exposing _any_ logical fallacy doesn't make the argument false. This is another fallacy called the "fallacy fallacy," or "argument from fallacy." Of course, simply pointing out a logical fallacy is not fallacious, but saying that the argument is wrong because of the fallacy _is_ fallacious, because even a fallacious argument can have a true conclusion.

Quite right. Politely point out the mistake. Avoiding logical fallacies will make for stronger arguments and lead to better discussions.
