Το Κολέγιο του Γουίντσεστερ (Winchester College) είναι αγγλικό ιδιωτικό σχολείο για αγόρια («αρρένων») που ιδρύθηκε το 1382 («claims the longest unbroken history of any school in England»). Ιδρυτής του ήταν ο επίσκοπος της πόλης Γουλιέλμος του Γουίκαμ (William of Wykeham, το οποίο Wykeham είναι χωριό της περιοχής του Γουίντσεστερ, που σήμερα γράφεται Wickham, όπως προφέρεται). Από το όνομα του ιδρυτή του κολεγίου οι μαθητές του Κολεγίου του Γουίντσεστερ λέγονται Wykehamists (γουίκαμιστς, ˈwɪkəmɪsts).
Υπάρχει και η λεγόμενη Wykehamist fallacy, μια κυνική ή ακόμα και ρατσιστική θεωρία του βρετανικού Φόρεϊν Όφις, που είχε διατυπώσει ο λόρδος Renwick, διπλωμάτης καριέρας.
In case you thought Wogs Begin at Calais too rough a paraphrase of the FO mindset, Lord Renwick, a mandarin for 32 years, was there to elaborate upon it. There was, he scoffed, "the Wykehamist fallacy", whereby you treat foreign potentates as if they have been educated at Winchester. "They haven't," said Renwick. "Actually, they are a bunch of thugs."

Ένα πρόσφατο άρθρο της Guardian για τον ακροδεξιό Νάιτζελ Φάρατζ και το κόμμα του (Ukip) καταλήγει ως εξής:
When considering Ukip, we should remember the advice of Lord Renwick, a Foreign Office mandarin and Labour peer. He told young diplomats from good families that their background made them suckers for "the Wykehamist fallacy". When they went abroad, they were in danger of believing that foreign potentates merely struck blood-curdling poses for effect. For all the bombast, they would think that, underneath, these must be civilised men with an ironic sensibility who might have been educated at Winchester. "They haven't," said Renwick. "Actually, they're a bunch of thugs."
The same should be said of Ukip.

Ένας μπλόγκερ αξιοποιεί το είδος αυτής της πλάνης για να εφαρμόσει τον όρο στις διαδικτυακές σχέσεις:
[The Wykehamist fallacy is] the erroneous belief that the people one deals with are decent, sophisticated chaps like oneself.
