Hehe, i like that :) We call it "False Syllogism", or a "Sophism". The famous example is : All men are mortal, Socrate is a man, Therefore, Socrate is mortal. => Syllogism All cats are mortal, Socrate is mortal, Therefore Socrate is cat. => Sophism Seem to be logical and rigorous, but totally false. - KiDDy.
