Generalization from fictional evidence is a fallacious argument which makes claims about reality based on evidence drawn from works of fiction.[1]

This tactic was deployed by candidates in the 2008 Republican presidential debates, when many of the candidates referenced the television series 24 to support their national security policies.[citation needed]
