Perfect Human Fallacy

Fleeting

When one argues about a system based on the assumption of a theoretical model of human behavior that describes an ideal that has nothing to do with how humans behave.

For instance, when we create models that suppose that human being won’t fall into the tragedy of commons or that human people can be reasoned with only with arguments (rational thinking fallacy)
