I don't think your examples are sufficiently similar to the subject matter to make this a compelling argument.

  Methinks I'm going to HN hell for presenting the disagreement here as a logical fallacy, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum For I agree with drzaiuslordofthenukedfallenearthgetyourhandsoffmeyourdamneddirtygorilla even though I think I'm not a sociopath. And that's because I also think this is an excellent case for the government to step in and provide the strong parental middle-finger to Martin Shkreli that he deserves so we can still get the free market that does bring so much good and yet also punish the sociopaths who exploit its unavoidable corner cases like this. See Goedel's incompleteness theorem about why, broadly, there will always be corner cases (yeah yeah inconsistent statements in any consistent system, sue me). See also I prefer Obamacare because all the other attainable alternatives are worse (In the same way I would prefer single-payer like medicare, but unless Bernie Sanders is our next president, we're not getting it).
