Converse Accident
Definition:
An exception to a generalization is applied to cases where the
generalization should apply.
Examples:
- Because we allow terminally ill patients to use heroin, we
should allow everyone to use heroin.
- Because you allowed Jill, who was hit by a truck, to
hand in her assignment late, you should allow the entire
class to hand in their assignments late.
Proof:
Identify the generalization in question and show how the
special case was an exception to the generalization.
