Mind Projection Fallacy
This Clairitin D commercial advertises allergy medicine to make life more 'clear',
implying to the affected viewer that without Clairitin,
life is not clear for people with allergies.
A man in the commercial compares the effects of Clairitin to being the same as living the life of
an allergy-free person.ent
None of the people in the commercial seem to realize that a percentage of allergy sufferers
will not have the same results. Instead, they project the remarkable
results of their own experience with Clairitin onto the buyer, regardless of
whether or not the medicine will actually relieve them
of their allergy symptoms.
It is because of this that this is an example of a Mind Projection Fallacy.
