No, that;s NOT what I'm referring to. My analogy is an example of something being NOT true of the whole, even though it is true of any of its parts, i.e an example of the compositional fallacy you're making.
Quote:A whole of something is the total of all its parts.
If all its parts are blue, the whole will be blue.
If all its parts are strong except one, the whole is only as strong as its weakest link.
Again, that's just fractal wrongness. Again, to say that what is true of a part (or even every part) is true of the whole is a logical fallacy.
I don't even know what we're talking about now...
