What is the opposite of “No True Scotsman”?
The opposite of the “No-True-Scotsman” fallacy is dicto simpliciter ad dictum secundum quid.
The “No-True-Scotsman” fallacy redraws the limits of a generality by integrating an exception.
Dicto simpliciter begins with a generality and swoops down upon the head of a specific instance that is inapplicable to it, ignoring the exception.
Dr. Joseph Suglia
