I wonder if you're aware that everything you said here relies on a logical fallacy:
"An Appeal to the Masses fallacy, also known as Argumentum ad Populum, is a type of informal fallacy that occurs when an argument relies on the fact that many people believe or do something, rather than providing evidence or logical reasoning to support the claim."
I wonder if you're aware that naming obscure fallacies to someone who teaches rhetoric courses just makes you look like an amateur.
That is the sort of thing you analyze later, to train. Pulling out in a debate is cringe and makes you look like you're avoiding the other person's core argument that you obviously feel contempt for most people, so why should most people give a shit what you say?

I'm still here, and don't understand why you think I've pulled out.
Appeal to the Masses is one of the most common fallacies - definitely not obscure.
Saying you're a rhetoric teacher is an appeal to authority, another fallacy. I'm sad for your students.
Please make a point that isn't a fallacy.
1) That was an obvious typo.
2) I wasn't appealing to the masses, I was making a statistical argument about the spread of information for use in decision-making
3) All arguments you don't like are a fallacy.
I'm done talking to you.
