On Have I Got News for You, Louise Bagshaw argued against the Alternative Vote method based on the fact that very few countries use it. This prompted Ian Hislop to point out that much of the world is starving, which is a pretty strong argument against eating. | |

On Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, various people start talking about some comments they are tired of, because they have heard them a million times. Kiri mentions that many people ask if she has an older brother, even though she is an only child, but Kafuka states that something said by a million people cannot be wrong, and "discovers" an older brother for Kiri, simply because it must be true. | |

For a meta example, the Vaudeville act of The Cherry Sisters attracted a very large audience. However, this was solely due to Bile Fascination; they were at the time unanimously considered absolutely dreadful. They, however, were completely oblivious to this fact, and figured that because they were getting such large audiences, they must be absolutely fantastic and dismissed the savage reviews they got as Critical Dissonance.note Ordinarily, it would be dangerous to list audience opinions of a work as an example of a non-YMMV trope, but in this particular case, those opinions are all that remains of it; no recordings of any of their shows survive, and this was so long ago that the only people who could possibly subjectively discuss them are time travelers and ghosts — none of which, to our knowledge, are TV Tropes users. | |

The Case For Christ: A priest in the film whom Lee interviews states there are many more copies of Gospels than other ancient works and thus implies that the Resurrection happened. This however does not mean they were accurate (he compares it for instance with The Trojan Cycle, a work of fiction, having less). At most, it proves that this was really popular (which is obviously true). | |
