Argument from anecdote
The fallacy can take many forms, such as cherry picking, hasty generalization, proof by assertion, and so on.Language surrounding the fallacy must indicate a logical conclusion, and includes absolute statements such as "every", "all", and so forth.For instance, a person citing a myth or made-up story as evidence is engaging in proof by assertion.An example of anecdotal evidence within the cherry-picking fallacy would be I knocked a hornet's nest down once, but I wasn't stung.This can also be applied to anecdotal evidence with no attributable source, such as urban legends, myths, folk sayings and folklore.
