 Inverted Ad Hominen is non-notable 

When I correct the ad hominem article later, I'm zapping the 'inverted ad hominem' term.  It is completely non-notable (86 hits in google) and was invented and inserted into the article by User:Layman.  Heck, the article itself even attributes it to Layman, a random web user, as having said it.

There's a reason why the term wasn't invented by logicians too, because ""inverted ad hominem"" is still ad hominem.  There's no ""inverse"" about it.  The so-called ""inverse ad hominem"" is just a case of ad hominem where someone says ""my qualifications are better than yours"" instead of directly saying ""your qualifications suck.""  The meaning is the same and there is no reason for another term.

I really don't think there is any question that this and the silly thing about it being coined should be removed.
