Your comment is based on the same strategies as the headlines and the book talks about. Define "These people". Hasty Generalization. "These people" don't move in unison like a school of fish, and every good faith reader knows that. There's no inconsistency.
- rglover 5y agoThese people = doctors, nurses, etc (medical professionals). It's not a "hasty generalization."
- kgwxd 5y ago> These people were considered heroes last year > Now their judgment is in question > These people = doctors, nurses, etc (medical professionals). Those professions were considered heroic, not every single person individually. Yes, many that served those positions well were individually celebrated too. The ones that didn't, and there were plenty, had their judgment heavily questioned, even last year. Drawing conclusions about an individual based on a broad category they happen to fall into is "hasty generalization", by the book.
