Basically, it's the argument that something can't be true because you don't like the consequences of it being true.

Enjoy!

This is characterized just as well if it is called "argument from yokelishness".

I haven't seen the world, and if I think there is more to the world than my home town, then it means I don't know the world, and that hurts my ego. Therefore there is no world beyond my home town.
