On the one hand, this is somewhat of a red herring fallacy. Introducing another issue of equal importance to distract your audience into accepting a completely different argument.
On the other hand, this is actually an important lesson. There is no way to win an argument about preferences. You must therefore never argue on the basis of preferences and preferably you will argue your point as a moral and ethical debate with the morals and ethics backing your side of the argument.
@WarriorofCathar Absolutely correct. The main difference between the fallacies in this movie and the fallacies often found in debate is that this time, the speaker (Nick) is completely aware of his fallacy. In fact, he sculpts it ahead of time to have the greatest impact possible.
