The Beatles are truly incomparable in terms of fame, but Miles Davis is a global phenomenon as well. He is very well known by pretty much all serious music fans.

I'm a serious music fan. I've heard of Miles Davis, but cannot identify a single one of his songs.

Though I suspect you'd conclude that not knowing Davis' discography automatically makes me not a serious music fan.

"Though I suspect you'd conclude that not knowing Davis' discography automatically makes me not a serious music fan."

Not necessarily. Just not a serious jazz fan. Most people when they say they are a "music fan" invariably mean rock/pop of various stripes (from indie to metal and everything in between) and not jazz, or opera or "world music" so maybe it's that you gave a pretty broad statement with no caveats?

In other words, true Scotsmen.

Naming fallacies is not only lazy, unpersuasive, and infantile... In this case it is just plain wrong.

This is a debate, not fallacy UNO.

Please demonstrate how your statement is not the fallacy then. It should be clear to be a fallacy to anyone who likes music and never heard of the dude you're talking about, and there are just so many of us.

I'm not playing logic UNO with you. I can live with the fact that some person on the internet thinks I'm wrong.

No, you aren't playing "logic UNO" as you put it. You are just not having a discussion in good faith. As you first imply people never hearing about some musician are not "serious", and then you claim that having a logical discussion is somehow a lower form of a debate.
