I think that's what we more or less

[Silverobama]

My friend said because his grandpa didn't die from lung cancer, he could smoke as he wants. But there are many evidence indicating that these two things are closely connected with each other.

When he said the above statement, I said:

I think that's what we more or less call an anecdotal fallacy.

Is my italic sentence natural? (I don't think there's anything wrong with "anecdotal fallacy" because I read many examples of what it means, but I'm not sure about the sentence.)

I would call it a logical fallacy, but I'm okay with your sentence.

It's hard to take that seriously. It's like saying you were shot once and it didn't kill you so it would be okay to be shot again.

I guess you can always justify what you want to do.

Saying you survived lung cancer, so you can continue to smoke doesn't make sense in this universe.
