A generalization that is made after seeing only one or two examples
Hasty generalization is a logical fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence.
When using inductive reasoning, be cautious of generalizing conclusions too broadly based on limited evidence. It is important to recognize that inductive arguments can only provide probabilistic support for a conclusion, not absolute certainty. Additionally, watch for biases or hidden assumptions that may affect the validity of the reasoning.
Hasty generalizations are often typified by exaggeration and poor preparation. Thus, one example of a hasty generalization may be "everyone knows what generalizations are." While a hasty generalization may sound accurate at first, a cursory fact check can quickly disprove it.
An informal fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence
A faulty generalization is a statement that's not true while a valid generalization is a true statement.
The fallacy identified in the excerpt about Sam the surfer is the hasty generalization fallacy. This fallacy occurs when a conclusion is drawn from insufficient evidence, in this case assuming all surfers are careless based on one individual's behavior.
My classmate's house is big, so his family must be rich :) (Hasty generalization is a claim that, as it may seem fact at first, can be quickly and easily disproved) Apex :)
