Affirming the Consequent... Denying the Antecedent
-
justme's answer is absolutely correct. If I may expand on that... A fallacy is a mistake in reasoning. A formal fallacy is a mistake in the form of the argument itself; it is an invalid argument. There are two formal fallacies sometimes mistaken for Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens. These are known as (1) the fallacy of denying the antecedent; and (2) the fallacy of affirming or asserting the consequent. An implication as premise, and denial of its antecedent as a another premise do not imply a conclusion. To claim that such premises do imply a conclusion is a fallacy. An implication as premise, and affirming the consequent as another premise do not imply the antecedent of the implication as a conclusion. sjsu.edu/logic/study4.htm#formalfallacy
