vendingmachine commented on the word slothful induction fallacy
Slothful induction is the exact inverse of the hasty generalization fallacy. This fallacy occurs when sufficient logical evidence strongly indicates a particular conclusion is true, but someone fails to acknowledge it, instead attributing the outcome to coincidence or something unrelated entirely.
