It is indeed fallacious. Btw, Socrates was a well-known Greek Philosopher who was charged and convicted of corruption and not following the religious faith at the time, or something like that. He was sentenced to death by poison. He had the opportunity to escape, but he deemed his life over and committed suicide by drinking the poison.
