I didn't say it was fallacious, I said it was a waste of bandwidth. There are almost always other, better clues about whether some statement is right or wrong. And even for filtering attention, it's not the best heuristic. if someone is just telling you things you already know, it doesn't really matter if they're being rational or just parrots, they're not worth paying attention to.
