| Converse Accident | An exception to a generalization is applied to cases where the generalization should apply. |
|---|---|
| Examples: | |
| Because we allow terminally ill patients to use heroin, we should allow everyone to use heroin. | |
| Because you allowed Jill, who was hit by a truck, to hand in her assignment late, you should allow the entire class to hand in their assignments late. | |
| Proof: | |
| Identify the generalization in question and show how the special case was an exception to the generalization. | |
