I think your "Wind Effect" is begging quite a different question...

The whisper affect, I like that one and will put it to use, when the crowd starts making funny faces at me I'll calmly state that next time I'll raise my volume over the whisper. Or something along that line.

The phrase argumentum ad verecundiam is sometimes used synonymously to mean 'argument from authority'. While it is linked, it does not have the same meaning. The Latin noun verecundia means "modesty" or "shame". Its link to arguments from authority is that they are used to make those who lack authority feel shame about discussing issues they lack credentials of expertise in, and modestly back out of an argument. The reason it is a fallacy is that the stature of the person to whom the remark is directed is precisely the open question under debate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority and http://philosophy.lander.edu/logic/authority.html and http://www.fallacyfiles.org/authorit.html Your argument is Argumentum ad hominem |
