Hasty Generalization Examples. Hasty generalization is a type of logical fallacy. A fallacy is an argument that is based on mistaken reasoning. When one makes a hasty generalization, he applies a belief to a larger population than he should based on the information that he has.
Arguments which use universals such as, âalwaysâ, âneverâ, âeveryoneâ, ânobodyâ, etc., are prone to being reduced to absurd conclusions. The fallacy is in the argument that could be reduced to absurdity -- so in essence, reductio ad absurdum is a technique to expose the fallacy. Logical Form: Assume P is true. From this assumption, deduce that Q is true. Also deduce that Q is false.
