Example

If women are payed less on average, more women would be hired to save on cost. Narky Sawtooth (Floof!~) 11:07, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm removing this example because while the 77 cents on the dollar statistic doesn't factor a lot of things in, there's still a 3-4% difference when you take all those factors (flexible hours, years off for childbearing) into consideration. Thus not a counterfactual. ^{— Unsigned, by: 138.51.113.90 / talk / contribs}

Regardless of the numbers, it does appear to be a poor example of this particular fallacy.
