added link to Fallacy of analogy
Line 4: Line 4:  
*Therefore, ''A'' also has property ''P''.
 
*Therefore, ''A'' also has property ''P''.
 
The argument is fallacious because ''A'' and ''B'' could be different in a way that is relevant to whether ''A'' has property ''P''.  In other words, everything is "like" everything else in some way, but not all things share the same properties.  A common humorous example is "God is love; love is blind; Stevie Wonder is blind; therefore, Stevie Wonder is God."
