Apex Fallacy

An apex fallacy (also semantic apex fallacy) occurs when someone evaluates a group based on the performance of best group members, not a representative sample of the group members (e.g., evaluating how well women are doing by looking only at national leaders).

Conversely, the nadir fallacy occurs when someone evaluates a group using the worst group members.
