This is my first time seeing this one mentioned, but I'm curious, what makes something a "real" fallacy?
It seems like it's a real mistake that people make. I guess one could categorize it as a more specific case of misunderstanding a distribution of values. (In the same vein as mean vs median, outlier skewing, assuming unimodal vs bimodal distribution, etc.)
