The Galileo Fallacy:

The thinking goes like this:

"Great thinkers throughout history have had unpopular ideas that everyone disagreed with.

"I have an unpopular idea that everyone disagrees with.

"Therefore, I must be a great thinker."

I mean that seriously, my definition of a leader is to make tough decisions and then convince people to support them actively and follow you, not…you know, he says, well, I’m not popular because I make tough decisions. Maybe they’re wrong…you know, I could say we should wear coats made out of puppies and nobody wants to do it and I’m like “What a great leader, look at me! It’s unpopular!”
