A. Damore spoke out about how Googlers shouldn't feel unsafe to express themselves.
B. People at Google are reportedly intimidated about expressing themselves.
C. We would expect Damore to be unhappy that Googlers are feeling unsafe to express themselves.
That's not a logical fallacy. Doesn't mean that idleword's rhetorical argument can't be criticized for being overbearing. Or for being wrong in its premises, e.g. Damore never explicitly said freedom of expression at Google was important, he alleged that Google management's policies stifle ideological viewpoints. That doesn't mean Damore has an opinion about Google employees being intimidated by the public.
>No, not really. What's the universal generalization or group here, of which Damore is a counter-example?
"Sincere people."
There's also tinges of "wishful thinking."
But No True Scotsman fallacies can occur without those pre-requisites and it's a common enough fallacy that it deserves its own term, so that it's easier to identify and denounce its use.
Also, I really want to know if there is a specific phrase/category that describes what idlewords is accused of, for the same reasons of easier identification and denunciation :)
