Fallacy of composition

For starters, fallacy means a flawed truth. Fallacy of composition means a flawed assumption of truth.
I read heard it this way...

Think crowded baseball game. You can't see because of the guy in front of you. If you stand up, then you can see. However, the fallacy of composition is that if EVERYBODY stands up, nobody can see the game any clearer than if they were all sitting down.

Composite Factorization

An unexplained part of math that when asked of its existence is answered with another question from my obviously puzzled teacher who has no preference to my curiosity than to strike it down as irrelevant in an extremely question prone subject which i find precisley specified as the term 'very gay'.
Teacher: So, you find the final prime numbers and that gives you the LCD.
Me: But, teacher, sorry to interrupt but if there is prime factorization then is there composite factorization?
Teacher: You tell me.
Me: Thats what i want to know.
Teacher: Dont talk back to the teacher!
Me: But-
Teacher: Detention!
Me: Well that was pretty gay...
