&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The '''fallacy of composition''' is a logical error in which one claims that because the parts of a whole have a particular attribute, the whole must also have that same attribute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example would be the claim that because everyone in a particular town has a younger sister, then the town also has a younger sister. A town cannot have family relationships even though all the citizens of the town have families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A different version of the fallacy would be to say that because all of the individual parts of an engine are properly constructed, it follows that the engine as a whole is properly constructed. In this case, the interactions ''between'' the individual parts introduce a new level of complexity and possibility for error above and beyond that which applies to the individual parts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In economics, the fallacy of composition explains the benefits of division of labor. An individual worker my benefit by specializing in a particular task, but it does not then follow that the economy as a whole would benefit if every worker specialized in that same task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inverse of the fallacy of composition is the '''fallacy of division'''.&lt;br /&gt;
