The logical fallacy of converse accident (also called reverse accident, destroying the exception or a dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter) is a deductive fallacy that can occur in a statistical syllogism when an exception to a generalization is wrongly called for. For example: Every swan I have seen is black, so it must be true that all swans are black. The inductive version of this fallacy is called hasty generalization. See faulty generalization.
