Talk:Association fallacy

Example
Dynamite uses chemical reactions to liberate energy to create a self-sustaining explosive reaction to destroy people and buildings. Coal-fired power stations use chemical reactions to liberate energy.

Therefore, coal-fired power stations are evil!!!

Argh!!!

 * God commanded the Jews to commit genocides.
 * God is good.

Correction about the Galileo Gambit phrase?
The phrase that deals with Galileo Gambit being "not even wrong", i think it would be more accurate to replace "not persecuted because people disagreed with him" (since the very influential church disagreed with his idea in some way, which sparked the whole persecution) with "not persecuted because he was necessarily and inevitably right" instead, since the church persecuted him because they feared the social consequences of people accepting the new idea of heliocentrism, regardless of whether it was proven factual or not.
