How is the appeal to tradition fallacy different from the appeal to emotion fallacy?
Both the appeal to tradition fallacy and the appeal to emotion fallacy can leverage social pressures and sentiments, but they do so in different ways:
- Appeal to tradition fallacy: Exploits the human tendency to conform to social norms, often leveraging emotional and social factors
- Appeal to emotion fallacy: Manipulates by directly targeting feelings such as fear, loyalty, or sympathy
