 Re: anachronistic fallacy
It sounds really good - but unfortunately, not appropriate. In fact, I cannot get my head around an example of what constitutes something that is.
an 'anachronism' is a thing belonging or appropriate to a period in time other than that in which it exists, esp. a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned : "Everything was as it would have appeared in centuries past apart from one anachronism, a bright yellow construction crane."
It's attributing a custom, event, or object to a period to which it does not belong.
...and it's not post hoc, ergo propter hoc. |
