False Continuum

Related to FalseDichotomy, but the two sides are not distinct. Rather they are two extremes of a continuum.

So FalseDichotomy versus FalseContinuum is a FalseDichotomy.


Examples:


Well... all other factors being equal, it would be hard to make schools WORSE by spending more money on them, so that's not really a false continuum. A false continuum would be something like, "I've gone to college for four years, which qualified me for certain jobs. If I went to college for a few more months, I'd qualify for a few more jobs."


I'm wondering if this is better called FalseLinearEffect? or FalseMonotonicDependency?. FalseContinuum seems to imply that there is not really a continuum (compare with EverythingIsRelative).
