1. fallacy of composition​
Wikipedia definition
2. Fallacy of composition​The fallacy of composition arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole (or even of every proper part). For example: "This fragment of metal cannot be broken with a hammer, therefore the machine of which it is a part cannot be broken with a hammer. " This is clearly fallacious, because many machines can be broken into their constituent parts without any of those parts being breakable.
