Talk:Jumping to conclusions

Critique

This is a terrible article. It has almost no references or citations except for the first sentence. One of the references is to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but its discussion is about making an over-hasty purchase, which isn't really covered by the article: not gathering enough evidence is different to reasoning from an insufficient sample size. A large part of it seems to be someone trying to prove that they aren't really racist when they make generalisations about racial groups - I'm not sure this is entirely relevant as overgeneralization is different to jumping to conclusions. While jumping to conclusions is included in the IEP's list of 227 of the commonest fallacies, I'm not convinced that everything on that list deserves its own entry, especially when there doesn't seem to be much to say about it. --Annanoon (talk) 16:00, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
