Do you understand what he’s saying, ponz?
It’s really rather simple. I’ve been saying it, too. Not only what others are saying is irrelevant, but when an argument is illogical you simply don’t bring it up. Never ever. You leave it out of the discussion. That argument has no value whatsoever.
So, in itself invoking others to validate one’s own idiosyncrasies fails to make those idiosyncrasies into facts. In combination with other arguments or in itself, invoking others’ perception is meaningless.
This also relates to clarity: it is only when clarity is missing that one brings others to validate one’s perception.
When everything is crystal-clear, like a tree in front of oneself, 99.99% of the planet can see it as a cow, yet one’s perception as a tree will not suffer the smallest degree of alteration.
That crystal-clear perception stands on its own.
4. A logical fallacy is a logical fallacy. Period. yes, a logical fallacy is a logical fallacy but your idea of the "ad populum fallacy" was incorrect and i explained why you were incorrecct
and instead of responding to what i said you just said "A logical fallacy is logical fallacy. Period. This is kinda typical of you to ignore what i posted.
You have repeatedly used a textbook argumentum ad populum fallacy. It doesn’t cease being a logical fallacy when “combined“ with other arguments, whether or not those OTHER arguments are valid. The same for all of the above. A bad argument, is a bad argument, is a bad argument. read what i posted [which you are trying to ignore]
Yes, I’m trying to “ignore” it by responding to it directly. 🤪
YOU: “It only applies if it is the SOLE argument for a statement. As you well know i have given many arguments for my statement that chesss is a draw if neither side makes a mistake.”
Whether or not an argument is a logical fallacy has NOTHING to do with any other arguments you make.
YOU: “Another piece of evidence about chess being a draw is that the vast majority of grandmasters believe chess is a draw.“

In argumentation theory, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "argument to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition must be true because many or most people believe it, often concisely encapsulated as: "If many believe so, it is so."
