Appeal to Six 

The Appeal To Six (Also Known as: The Six Fallacy and "Some NPC Type of Behavior"):

The false belief that if Six said some shit, you can use it in a debate. This also applies to using his youtube videos, statements he's made, tiktok's he's posted or previous debates he's had as evidence.

Phrases such as "Debate Six on it," "Six proved that's not true," and @ ing Six to join the VC and disprove your opponent all fall under this fallacy.
Debater 1: "In the databook, it says Hiruzen is stronger than Hashirama."

Debater 2: "Yeah but Six said that's not true."

Debater 1: "That's an Appeal to Six."

Appeal to Science

A fallacy where someone invokes "science" as an authority to settle a question without specifying which science, what evidence, or how it applies. "Science says..." becomes a magic incantation that ends debate. The appeal is fallacious when it treats science as a monolithic oracle rather than a diverse, contested, evolving set of practices and findings. Science doesn't "say" anything—scientists publish studies, which are interpreted, debated, and sometimes overturned. Appeal to Science is the intellectual's version of "because I said so"—using the prestige of science to avoid the work of argument.
Appeal to Science "I questioned a popular health claim. Response: 'Science says it's true!' Which science? Which studies? Published where? Replicated when? 'Science says' is not an argument—it's a conversation-stopper dressed in a lab coat. Appeal to Science: when you want the authority of science without the responsibility of citing it."

Appeal to Scientific Method

A fallacy where someone invokes "the scientific method" as a unified, definitive procedure that settles all questions, ignoring that there is no single scientific method, that methods vary by discipline, and that many important questions lie outside science's domain. The appeal is fallacious when used to dismiss non-scientific ways of knowing—philosophy, art, experience, tradition—as if the scientific method were the only path to truth. It's scientism in rhetorical form: using the prestige of scientific procedure to police the boundaries of legitimate inquiry.
Appeal to Scientific Method "You can't know anything about consciousness without fMRI data! That's Appeal to Scientific Method—assuming one method (quantitative neuroscience) is the only method. But phenomenology studies consciousness through experience. Philosophy studies it through reasoning. The scientific method is one tool, not the whole toolbox."
