I don't see why this is a fallacy; all blockchains are ultimately governed by social consensus on what rules to follow.

PoW can only resolve forks where both sides follow the same rules. PoS prevents those same kind of forks from happening in the first place. Neither requires manual intervention when things are running normally.

if attackers manage to rewrite ledger history, the fact that they get punished on some other chain doesn't really matter.

and since ledger immutability and the ability to avoid manually choosing versions of history is the whole point of a blockchain, you can argue PoS weakness is fatal.
