fallacy

The fallacy that I remember the most is the Fallacy of Division. This fallacy states that a false conclusion is made from true information. I live in the Julia Sears dorms. These dorms cost much more than all the other dorms on campus. People often say that because I live in Juila Sears, I am rich. This would be a fallacy of division. I do live in the more expense dorms, but I am not rich. This is the fallacy I remember most because I believe that a lot of people use this fallacy in speech and in writing. It is a very commonly used fallacy.
