What is called the opposite of Double Standard?I was watching Survivor. An incident with the supplies occurred and the first team agreed that they treated the second team unfair and that they should return a part of their supplies (exactly 29 spoons of rice) but they actually returned only 13. The other team counted the spoons and realized that the portions were missing. So the team which was treated unfair, raised that as an issue. |

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

I would say it is an accident fallacy in your example. I don't think it is "the opposite" of double standard because "the opposite" of accident fallacy is the fallacy of converse accident. The opposite of double standard would be some identification of two situations that differ from each other, and scoring from them in the same context. Something like this occurs in various types of logical errors, and I don't know if it has a unique, collective name. |

Hmmm, it's a tough one. I don't really see a double standard fallacy as much as a disagreement of terminology, and its moral implications. Person X: We survived and won because we were passionately soulful about our survival in spite of being cheated. Person Y: What passion and soul? You were too busy counting spoons. Person X: Yes, our passion and soulfulness shaped our fierce practicality and determination. Person Y: Passion and soul have nothing to do with that kind of exactitude. Person X: Who says? Person Y appears to be claiming that one cannot be practical while also being passionate and soulful. This seems more like a Moralistic fallacy, or a false dilemma. Person X attributes the win to an emotional appeal to passion and soul. When you consider the fact his team won in spite of being cheated it does not seem to be an unreasonable claim. A lofty one for sure, but not entirely illogical. Certainly one can argue the impact of passion and soul on practicality, but it's not so much a double standard as it is a fundamental disagreement of morality. |

It is an example of this, it is not really a reverse double standard. |
