A comment on Dear Chess World. Parent comment
Most things that are called that are not.
This would be a fallacy:
1. World’s best player (to have ever lived)
2. Therefore his opinion is correct
This on the other hand is not a fallacy:
1. Ditto
2. Therefore one should take his opinions on this matter extremely seriously
It’s not fallacious since it doesn’t pretend or present itself as a derived fact.
