Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
No one in your family surfs? But I thought you said you lived in California before this.
A: false causation: the assumption that because two things happened together, one caused the other
B: hasty generalization: a very broad claim based on very little evidence
The text argues that a person from California must have a surfer in his or her family. However, even though some people in California surf, that doesn't necessarily mean that every family has a surfer. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as a hasty generalization.
