Q1: You are referring to the argument of the beard . The example you present, however, is of a different structure so not fallacious (at least not in the same way). Your example is more an issue with simply being wrong about the law. Q2: No fallacy, that is not an argument. You could reword it to make an appeal to popularity , if the claim is that it would be the right thing to do. |

Since the proposal of 1 day short easily converts to only 1 day short of 1 day short, I believe the fallacy becomes one of slippery slope . Usually, the context is the basis of a warning, but here it's behind the claim. I don't see a fallacy in the second statement. It's part of an admonishment not to follow the friends in error |
