This is the fallacy that a sad man might pull himself out of sadness by going on Tinder/Bumble/etc. The thinking normally follows the idea that mathematically if he swipes right on enough profiles he is bound to find someone with whom to talk. this is false. He will be alone.
"Yeah the 'rona has me bored af. im gonna download tinder, swipe right on everyone and maybe meet some people and waste some time."
'Thats the Sad Man's Fallacy man, theyre not gonna swipe right either way bro. You need to focus on yourself because this is only gonna hurt'

When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:
A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850
You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.

Definition: The Lamb Fallacy, or Fallacia Agnorum, is a type of faulty reasoning marked by intentional deception. It occurs when misleading information is used to create a distorted view of reality, leading people to accept conclusions that are logically unsound. Key features include deceptive premises, distorted conclusions, an intent to deceive, and flaws in the logical structure. The term highlights how individuals can be misled and underscores the importance of critically evaluating information.
In a political discourse, the speaker employed The Lamb Fallacy by selectively presenting data to support their narrative, intentionally distorting the information to mislead the audience into accepting a conclusion that did not accurately reflect the true state of affairs.

The letterman's fallacy is a scenario in which you are asked a basic question and extrapolate your answer in order to gain a better understanding of the question and this in turn is then used against you to gaslight you into a malformed position that you do not necessarily stand for.
The name letterman comes from the fact that it sounds fancy to say.

Your boss's belief that, no matter how much work there is to be done, it will all be finished before the Christmas holidays so "we can start next year with a clean slate." See also "work smarter not harder."
