Mathematical Fallacies: What is wrong in this proof that 2+2 = 5?
Yes, can you give me an example of how assuming something is true for a specific example can be a fallacy?
Sure! For example, imagine someone claims that all odd numbers greater than 2 are prime, and they use the example of 3 and 5 to support this claim. However, this is a fallacy because 9, 15, and many other odd numbers greater than 2 are not prime. Just because a claim is true for some examples does not mean it is true for all examples.
