Both of those slogans can be used to justify bad epistemology, e.g. the first to justify rejecting a factual narrative that actually happened but doesn't happen to correspond to your pre-existing beliefs, and the second to assume that something is probable because a lot of people you know happen to be arguing for it.
Agreed they can be.
