In fact there is no one who is all good or all bad.

Get the Good guy bad guy fallacy mug.One of the basic logical fallacies is the reductive fallacy, or in Latin, 'reductum ad absurdum'. Basically means taking a normal argument to such a far extreme (reducing it in an absurd manner) as an attempt to try to say it is wrong.
