nwr,
Yesterday, I bumped into Betty Crowe. She was wearing black shoes.
Two weeks ago, I was introduced to John Crowe. I happened to notice that he was wearing black shoes.
Bob Crowe was one of my high school friends. As I recall, he wore black shoes.
All the Crowes I have observed have been wearing black shoes. Therefore all Crowes are wearing black shoes.
Isn't that a fallacy of composition along the lines, this brick is red, therefore the entire wall is red?
