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)[reply]

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)[reply]

See here. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:23, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"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)[reply]
