Illicit minor
Illicit minor is a logical fallacy committed in a categorical syllogism that is invalid because its minor term is undistributed in the minor premise but distributed in the conclusion.
Example:
- All poodles are mammals. All poodles are pets. Therefore, All pets are mammals.
See also: syllogistic fallacy, illicit major.
