The appeal to loyalty is a logical fallacy committed when the premise of an argument uses a perceived need for loyalty of some sort to distract from the issue being discussed.[1]
- Example
- B questions A's statement of x.
- Anyone who questions A is disloyal.
- Therefore, B is wrong.
Problem: Even if B is disloyal, that doesn't mean that B is wrong, as A is not necessarily always right.
