Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise
Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise is a logical fallacy that is committed when a categorical syllogism has a positive conclusion, but one or two negative premises.
For example:
- No fish are mammals, and no mammals can fly, therefore all fish can fly.
