Fallacy of division
text:
The fallacy of division is an informal fallacy that occurs when one reasons that something that is true for a whole must also be true of all or some of its parts. An example:
- The second grade in Jefferson Elementary eats a lot of ice cream
- Carlos is a second-grader in Jefferson Elementary
- Therefore, Carlos eats a lot of ice cream The converse of this fallacy is called fallacy of composition, which arises when one fallaciously attributes a property of some part of a thing to the thing
