Hasty Generalization | A conclusion is drawn from too small a sample of evidence. | “Love, it seems, has the power to transcend even the bonds of death itself.” |
Anecdotal Fallacy | A Hasty Generalization that relies on the availability heuristic (we generalize from vivid stories more readily). | “Staff members have made up the bed before leaving for the day, only to find the impression of an adult's body on the mattress when they return the next morning.” |
Appeal to misleading authority | Using an authority to affirm a conclusion when the authority is not expert enough, in the context, to assure the conclusion. | ” In 1934, the O. Henry House was turned into a museum. Docents say that it is still occupied by the ghosts of a mother and son who lived there in the early 1900s after Porter and his family moved out.” |
