A
logical fallacy in which is it
assumed that because the
whole has some
property, the
parts have that property as well. This is easily
confused with the
Composition fallacy.
Example: "The human brain is intelligent, so the neurons are intelligent."
To prove the fallacy, show that the property in question is that of the whole and not of the parts. You may want to show how the parts combine to give the whole its differing property, or show how it is impossible that the parts have the property.
