Maybe an example (from politics) would help:
Suppose 2 parties are arguing about who should be the next leader .
One says it should be the crown prince; the other says there should be an
election.
The first is asked why & the reply is: "it has always been that way."
In that case a mindless (social) tradition is being appealed to .
On the other hand, a justification might be offered:
"only someone raised to be a ruler is fit to rule; elections are just
mindless popularity contests."
In this case the appeal is intellectual.
