Fallacy
Is it really possible to say that Argumentum ad populum is a logical fallacy while most of the values we accept as a society are indeed "Argumentum ad populum"? --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 12:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes. A majority of people believing something is good or true doesn't make it ethical or correct. Germanater09 (talk) 00:43, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- See here. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:23, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
"truth by association" Surely not an equivalence?
AFAIK, the term describes Association fallacy only.
I'm not too familiar with how sources are organized, but following the referenced Argumentum ad populum#CITEREFWalton1999 and searching for "truth by association" yields no results. MathsStan (talk) 16:29, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
