"Multiple people, each making at least one fallacy, thus there being multiple fallacies. "Their fallacies" - the particular fallacies that were aforementioned committed by those people.
This does not mean, however, that "their fallacy" will always be correct. You need a context that makes it clear that it's not a possession of the person, but of their ideas/arguments."
