Assume that a teacher and student (Professor and Connie) are arguing about the morality of the death penalty. They aren't very logical people, so all of their statements are fallacies. Identify which fallacy the following statement represents: (Connie) "I read that in countries without the death penalty, the citizens have 50% fewer cavities in their teeth. If that's true, the death penalty must somehow cause tooth decay."
