I expressed no opinion on truth. Most people making an honest inquiry into a subject would want to know what other people had concluded. She can weigh that fact against your claim to be the arbiter of truth and draw her own conclusions.

I am not "arbiting truth" i'm pointing out the use of fallacies in your arguments. The citation of numbers is a very old and well known fallacy. It implores people to believe something because a whole bunch of other people believe it. It is not proof that something is true.

But I didn't make an argument! There was no "argumentum" to be "ad numerum." I didn't implore her to believe anything; I didn't even express my own opinion.

I can't help but think you just don't like the fact that most people disagree with you and are annoyed that I drew attention to it.
