Term for the sense that something must be true because many people talk about it And 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong too. |

Term for the sense that something must be true because many people talk about it "Three men make a tiger" is the closest to what I had in mind, but sadly it's not in English. |

Term for the sense that something must be true because many people talk about it @Boofus: This assumes a third party intentionally creates and spreads the misinformation. |

Term for the sense that something must be true because many people talk about it But it's not that they wish it to be true. Rather, they assume it to be true because others talk about it. |

Term for the sense that something must be true because many people talk about it @FumbleFingers: That sounds plausible, but I didn't claim that lots of people believe it, just that some people believe it because others talk about it. |

But/while/whereas/though/although/however @Mr.ShinyandNew安宇: There's a difference between dictionary definitions and practical usage. In this case, all the words seem to convey the intended meaning but with slight difference is nuance. I feel it is unhelpful to simply downvote a question and state ROFD. |

OK to use two “there”s in a sentence? Thanks! I didn't know about avoiding the same word in different senses. Isn't that the whole idea of syllepsis to implicitly (without actually repeating it) use the same word in different senses? |
