    I beleive the first would be an appeal to moderation fallacy. I mean, you’re right in calling out the illogical BS. I’m just saying I think it’s this particular flavour of illogical BS.

    I’m sure you can see your way out of one just fine but favourite way to call out an appeal to moderation fallacy is to ask “if I said the sky was predominantly yellow and you, rightly, corrected me and said it was predominantly blue, would it be logical for a third person to conclude that the sky was green?”
