Apex Fallacy

This is a logical fallacy that assumes properties of the most visible members of a group are held by all members of the group.

The most powerful people in the World are men, hence all men are powerful. This is an Apex fallacy, not all men are powerful.

The World's best long distance runners come from Africa, hence all Africans are good long distance runners. This is an Apex fallacy, not all Africans are good long distance runners.

Vegans Assumption Fallacy

A vegan must never assume that something is vegan unless and until it's confirmed to be vegan.

A vegan realised that he/she consumed a non-vegan product by failing to check the ingredients label, therefore falling prey to "Vegans Assumption Fallacy".

Snackwell Fallacy

Eating massive servings of foods which are low-fat, low-sodium or low-cholesterol under the mistaken impression that you are making a healthy choice. Instigated initially in the late 1990s with the Snackwell line of low-fat cookies.

I just ate an entire pallet of reduced sodium Lays potato chips. So you know, my diet is still unbroken.

You just got chumped by the Snackwell Fallacy, dumb ass.

fallacy

An untruth. An untrue statement. A wrong idea.

That which is fallacious.

The idea that the word "fallacy" has anything to do with sex is itself a fallacy.
