I do not agree with the fallacy and generalization because I think that each thing or person does not compare to anything or anyone and each thing or person has their own truth.

Is it true or false? It’s false.

How can you prove it? Each thing or person can prove by them self.

Have you ever used it (or them)? Yes I used before.
