Converse Accident
The
logical fallacy
of
converse accident
(also called
reverse accident
,
destroying the exception
or
a dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter
) is a
deductive
fallacy that can occur in a
statistical syllogism
when an exception to a
generalization
is wrongly called for.
For example:
If we allow people with
glaucoma
to use
medical marijuana
then everyone should be allowed to use marijuana.
People who suffer from glaucoma are an exception to the general rule that does not overlap with everyone else. The
inductive
version of this fallacy is called
hasty generalization
. See
faulty generalization
. The opposing kind of
dicto simpliciter
is
accident
.
