I would like to point out that a description of something is only proof that it exists in some manner and that it was perceived in some way. The description of something is not proof that it should be as it is.
For instance, one common variant of this mistake is the naturalistic fallacy. The fact that most organisms of a species behave a certain way does not make the proposition, "That behavior is moral.", true.
