Cagey said:It's a logical fallacy called "proof by assertion". Marketing weenies use it all the time, mainly because it works. "A lie told often enough becomes the truth". Many old wive's tales have their roots there. Somebody draws a false conclusion/observation or erroneously decides correlation=causation, and the repetition makes it into common knowledge and a falsehood becomes dogma.
But, yeah. Celine Dion sucks. Common knowledge <grin>
