Maybe that’s why the closest thing I could find to an example is ‘an inverted modus tollens.’ The logic itself is sound. The initial premise, however, is invalid and easily deniable.
It appears to be some combination of affirming the consequent and denying the antecedent. The logic definitely isn’t sound. 😛
