	Appeal to novelty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The appeal to novelty (also called argumentum ad novitatem) is a logical fallacy in which someone claims that his or her idea or proposal is correct or superior because it is new and modern.
		Appeals to novelty are often successful in a modern world where everyone is eager to be on the "cutting edge" of technology.
		The opposite of an appeal to novelty is an appeal to tradition, in which one argues that the "old ways" are always superior to new ideas.

	Naturalistic fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The naturalistic fallacy is an alleged logical fallacy, identified by British philosopher G.E. Moore in Principia Ethica (1903).
		Other responses appeal to the Fregean distinction between sense and reference, allowing that value concepts are special and sui generis, but insisting that value properties are nothing but natural properties (this strategy is similar to that taken by non-reductive materialists in philosophy of mind).
		Some people use the phrase "naturalistic fallacy" or "Appeal to nature" to characterise inferences of the form "This behaviour is natural; therefore, this behaviour is morally acceptable" or "This behaviour is unnatural; therefore, this behaviour is morally unacceptable".

	Appeal to tradition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Appeal to tradition, also known as appeal to common practice or argumentum ad antiquitatem is a common logical fallacy in which someone proclaims his or her accuracy by noting that "this is how it's always been done." Essentially: "This is right because we've always done it this way."
		The assumption behind this argument is that whatever reason led to the old methods of thinking is still valid today.
		The opposite is the appeal to novelty, claiming something is good because it's new.

		Novelty is the opposite of routine. Routine lessons in today's schools include completing ditto sheets, reading book chapters and answering questions about them, and memorizing formulas for a test. Novelty is something different, something incongruous.
		Application appeals and completion appeals are exactly the same in that the content is shown to be useful. They differ in that completion promises usefulness in another part of the same lesson, while application promises usefulness outside the lesson.
		Notice that the feedback appeal often accompanies and supports the security appeal and responds to the student's efficacy question. "Am I able to do this?" With a reassuring aswer, "yes, you can, and you can keep track of how well you are doing by..." In addition, the feedback appeal frequently accompanies anticipation.

	A Whiteheadian Account of Value and Identity
		That a radical novelty is here present in both the assignment of ultimate values and their definitions is no doubt apparent to philosophers, and perhaps somewhat alienating.
		Nonetheless, although novelty is a necessary condition to achieve value, it can also produce evil should it introduce a chaos that cannot be creatively formed into a higher order, for as Whitehead did clearly state: "The novelty may promote or destroy order; it may be good or bad" (PR 284).
		If originative novelty is a defining characteristic of life, to the degree that entities respond in the first, nonappetitive mode, they become to that degree nonliving or inorganic.

	Appeal to Novelty
		This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because the novelty or newness of something does not automatically make it correct or better than something older.
		It should not be assumed that old things must be better than new things (see the fallacy Appeal to Tradition) anymore than it should be assumed that new things are better than old things.
		For example, if a person concluded that his day old milk was better than his two-month old milk, he would not be committing an Appeal to Novelty.

		The Court of Appeal affirmed the Patents Court's conclusions as to product-by-process claims and stated that, contrary to the EPO view, there is no reason why the limitation of a claim to products produced by a process could not impart novelty to the claims.
		It seems that the Board of Appeal should have required claim 26 to have some defining limitation by which the product itself was novel irrespective of the process by which it would be obtained (as the Board had required for claim 19).
		Indeed, the Court of Appeal in Amgen was not inclined to delve into the EPO’s reasoning for claim 26 being granted in the form it was.
