Fallacy for asserting conclusions from constructed assumptions (fiction)What fallacy best suits deriving a conclusion about the real world from a set of fabricated assumptions, in the case of a piece of fiction, or possibly a set of assumptions fabricated for the sake of an argument that are meant to model the real world but the accuracy of these assumptions is dependent on the arguer's ability to simulate the real world in their assumptions. Ultimately this seems to be a case of presuming assumptions that have the possibility of reflecting reality, but I'm not sure how well it matches up to well-known fallacies. |
