Argument from Ignorance (Ad Ignorantiam): This fallacy occurs when someone asserts that a proposition is false because they personally haven’t heard of it, or it’s not commonly known to them.
“Well, I've never heard of that” ⟶ Implies: “Therefore, it's probably wrong ornot credible.”
It’s an epistemic fallacy, where the absence of knowledge is treated as evidence of absence or insignificance.
Essentially, your ignorance of the subject matter doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it just means you’re ignorant of the subject matter. 🤷 🤣
You will not find that I have declared any fact beyond my ignorance, and it is rather the imputation of an assertion beyond that ignorance that constitutes the genuine fallacy here.
I missed the part where they said anything other than never having heard it themself. They never claimed that nobody says it. Maybe think about that next time you’re going to be condescending for no reason.
