...for without that link, I would have not learned what a dicto simpliciter fallacy is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_dicto_simpliciter

A dicto simpliciter (sweeping generalization) (Latin: "from a maxim without qualification", meaning "from a universal rule&quot

or ad dictum simpliciter (Latin: "to a maxim without qualification", meaning "to a universal rule&quot

are Latin phrases for a type of informal fallacy of presumption.

An example of same would be "Those who oppose me in the Gungeon are are members of/parroting
the NRA"...
