I think it's an example of the formal fallacy of the undistributed middle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fal. . .
One way to spot the fallacy is to reframe the syllogism to force the middle to be distributable All roses are flowers. Some flowers fade quickly. All roses share the property of fading with all flowers Therefore, some roses fade quickly. The offset premise actually anticipates the consequent, but All roses are flowers. Some roses fade quickly. Therefore, some flowers fade quickly. is actually valid and sound |
