misgeneralization

Noun CEFR C2

An incorrect generalization.

Examples

“The problem was that this concept was a misgeneralization from the Gulf War and did not fit conflicts like⟳ that in Bosnia, where the nature of the warfare was less conventional and where the strategy had to be more of a political-military one linked more closely to diplomacy and negotiations.”
