Term fallacy of mass appeal Definition: The logical fallacy of arguing that something is "correct" or "true" because a majority of the population thinks so. This is commonly used by both advertisers and politicians. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's "right." In fact, a cynic might argue that being popular probably makes it "wrong."
