A
logical fallacy in which an
explanation is given to explain some
phenomenon, but the explanation is
false because the phenomenon
doesn't actually happen. Although this can be a
fun game, it has no place in logical
argument.
Example: "The reason i'm so popular is that i'm nice to everyone." False, because i'm unpopular.
To prove the fallacy, identify the phenomenon and show that there's no reason to believe it actually occurred.
