Appeal to flattery〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fallacy: Appeal to Flattery )〕 (also apple polishing, or wheel greasing) is a fallacy in which a person uses flattery, excessive compliments, in an attempt to win support for their side. Flattery is often used to hide the true intent of an idea or proposal. Praise offers a momentary personal distraction that can often weaken judgment. Moreover, it is usually a cunning form of appeal to consequences, since the audience is subject to be flattered ''as long as they comply'' with the flatterer. Example: :"Surely a man as smart as you can see this is a brilliant proposal." (failing to accept the proposal is a tacit admission of stupidity) Appeal to flattery is a specific kind of appeal to emotion. ==See also== * Flattery * Superficial charm * Sycophancy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Appeal to flattery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
