		It is also known as argument from authority, argumentum ad verecundiam (Latin: argument to respect) or ipse dixit (Latin: he himself said it).

	United States History I Model Congress Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This is the error that some policy, behavior, or practice is right or acceptable because "it's always been done that way." This is an extremely popular fallacy in debates; for example, "Every great civilization in history has provided state subsidies for art and culture!" But that fact does not justify continuing the policy.
		The fallacy comes when other aspects of the proposed solution (such as whether it is possible, how much it costs, who else might be harmed by adopting the policy) are ignored or responded to only with more impassioned pleas.
		Of course, it is not a fallacy to state the truth again and again; what is fallacious is to expect the repetition alone to substitute for real arguments.
