Division (logical fallacy)
From Wikinfo
The logical fallacy of division ascribes properties of a whole thing to its parts. Below are two examples of this:
- This chemical compound is green, therefore all of its atoms are green.
- America has a high per capita income, therefore everyone there is rich.
