I hate taking something like this and calling it the XXX fallacy. The unsubstantiated swipe at the end is an excellent example of why.
I think the unsubstantiated swipe at the end is a separate problem from calling it the XXX fallacy.
They’re linked, though. Labelling it as a fallacy makes it easier to just point to an example of this kind of reasoning with the implication that it’s fallacious (so apparently no need to substantiate).
Yeah that’s a good point.
