Illicit major
text:
Illicit major is a formal fallacy committed in a categorical syllogism that is invalid because its major term is undistributed in the major premise but distributed in the conclusion. This fallacy has the following argument form: All A are B
No C are A
Therefore, no C are B Example: All dogs are mammals
No cats are dogs
Therefore, no cats are mammals In this argument, the major term is "mammals". This is distributed in the conclusion because we are making a claim about a property of all mammals:
