-Is there an inverse fallacy to Argumentum ad populam (for example, someone claims that 'everyone else believes x, therefore y must be true', I'm thinking along the lines of conspiracy theorists or people who don't trust common consensus)? -[[User:Albrozdude|albrozdude]] ([[User talk:Albrozdude|talk]]) 19:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
-: yes: Argument from fallacy: assumes that if an argument for some conclusion is fallacious, then the conclusion is false [[Special:Contributions/78.22.129.53|78.22.129.53]] ([[User talk:78.22.129.53|talk]]) 22:09, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
-:: Indeed fallacies only mean the reasoning was false, meaning that the belief itself isn't justified. But then people have a stronger aptitude to follow a majority or statement from an authority. --[[Special:Contributions/105.4.189.71|105.4.189.71]] ([[User talk:105.4.189.71|talk]]) 14:13, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
