The Fallacy of Division in Critical Thinking
The fallacy of division is an informal logical fallacy in which one incorrectly infers that a property true of a whole must also be true of that whole's parts. Formally: if whole A has properties {A, B, C} and P is a part of A, it does not follow that P has properties {A, B, C}, because wholes and their parts need not share the same properties. It belongs to the domain of critical thinking/informal logic, as the direct converse of the fallacy of composition (which fallaciously infers whole-properties from part-properties).
