It strikes me as some type of attribution error. Not the FAE we all know, but a different or more general one. As in, results are not attributed to the cause.

It strikes me as some type of attribution error. Not the FAE we all know, but a different or more general one. As in, results are not attributed to the cause. But in the antibiotics example, it's the other way around. The results are ignored in spite of the cause ("I feel better, therefore I'm done"). That one could also just be regular old ignorance, but that's a boring topic of discussion.
