⚖️ LSAT Exam Prep

"My grandfather smoked and lived to 95. Smoking cannot be harmful." The flaw is:

A Appeal to emotion
B Generalizing from a single anecdote (hasty generalization)
C Circular reasoning
D False analogy

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

One person's experience cannot refute statistical evidence about smoking's harms. This is a classic hasty generalization from an unrepresentative sample of one.
