The Existential Fallacy
March 7, 2015 at 4:07 pm

http://www.fallacyfiles.org/existent.html
I'm going to try to put this into my own words. The existential fallacy is when a class is assumed to not be empty.
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot

We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing. - Gore Vidal
