Don't get fooled by “argumentum ad populum”. (Just because the majority said so, doesn't necessarily mean it's correct.)

“Argumentum ad populum” is the tendency to agree/disagree on something based on peer pressure.

Don't get fooled by it. Make up your own opinion instead of getting washed away by the crowd.

Don't be fooled by "because it's got a latin name it's legitimate".
