Existential Fallacy

Existential Fallacy

Universal premises and particular conclusion

The Existential Fallacy is committed when, based on universal premises, (statements such as “all X are” or “no X is”) it is intended to reach particular conclusions that affirm the existence of the subject (which in reality does not follow from the premises) .-

example:

All unicorns are animals,

So there are animals that are unicorns
