Is this nirvana fallacy?Person 1: Working in fast food restaurants will soon be obsolete and be replaced with robots Person 2: That may be true, but we still need humans in the kitchen in case the food quality is not good Person 1: People get food poisoned and get served food that's possibly rotten, all the while only humans are in the kitchens, you think that would solve anything |

As I understand the nirvana fallacy, it involves comparing and contrasting realistic and ideal solutions in a way that the "real" world solution or situation is found lacking when compared with an "ideal" one, whether Ron to that "ideal" or "perfect" situation actually exists. Therefore, I don't see this exchange as the nirvana fallacy . The exchange involves some assumptions that I'm not sure are universally accepted: will robots really replace humans in restaurants? are humans really the best form of quality assurance? As well, there are a number of missing quantifiers ... will ALL humans be replaced by robots in ALL fast food restaurants? Which and how many people get poisoned by restaurant food? If Person 1 is trying to convince person 2 that robots are coming, the two need to come together to share a common understanding of some basic terms like quality of food and the frequency of food poisoning. I don't see a particularly good argument or presentation of ideas on either side, but I don't see it as the nirvana fallacy
