FALSE ANALOGY
(fawls uh-nal-uh-jee)
Other names: false comparison, weak analogy
Everyday Definition: comparing two things that are not the same
ACTUAL DEFINITION
The reasoning that because two things are alike in some ways, they are alike in other ways as well.
Someone could use this in argument because it is something that can be believable. A person could easily be persuaded to believe something that isn't necessarily true using this fallacy.
This fallacy is flawed because although two things have many similarities, they're overall not the same. A cat is not a dog even though they're both animals.
Once upon a time, in a school far far away, a little girl was beginning to learn math.
