* "[[Appeal to TraditionArgumentTradition|Argument from age]]" would be the instance of this fallacy that is probably most familiar: because the claim is, or is made by, someone or something new or old, it is better or more reliable. "Latest research shows..." and "The ancient Greeks thought..." are both typical ways to lead into this fallacy, if nothing more than the fact that the age of the claim is considered or presented as relevant.
* "Not Invented Here": the rejection of a new idea or method not on its merits but simply because it originated outside the organization of which one is a member.
** In later volumes of the ''[[Honor Harrington]]'' series, officials of the Solarian League underestimate the military technology and expertise of the [[The Dreaded|highly respected]] Royal Manticoran Navy, simply because it is not Solarian.
