I think an easy way to describe this fallacy in quick term is with the story about the boy who cries wolf, he repeatedly tells lies about the wolf coming but when the wolf actually comes the whole village refuses to believe him because he is unreliable, and so fall prone to this error in reasoning. The wolf does end up destroying their village and it is revealed that the claim that the wolf was coming is true even if the boy had previously only told lies. Strangely enough when told to children the lesson is that you shouldn't lie because people are prone not to believe you, which is true, because otherwise the fallacy wouldn't be so abundantly used.
