The debate on the use of sage is similar to those who read the US Constitution with modern definitions and don't have its historical context in mind, and those that do. The discourse on ``sage'' can easily degenerate into endless debates of contention.

Yes. It's the
Argumentum Ad Populum or
Appeal to the People fallacy. Because imageboard users comprise the majority of users in the realm of 4chan/world4ch, and their use of sage is the most commonly known and understood, means that it is the correct way. This argument is fallacious, in that its historical context is not considered, and that what's also not considered is the use of the sage function and the idea of how it is used has been perverted over time.
