A dark horse is an unexpected winner. Someone who wins something completely unexpectedly, out of nowhere, no one would have believed that they would be a winner. The expression was originally used in horse racing as slang to describe a horse that wins that no one would have bet on to win.

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.

However, a lot of people might actually think it to true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include; black or white, non sequitur, ad hominem, bandwagon, appeal to authority, straw man, and oversimplification or hasty generalization.

Given the following statement of fallacy;

"The last two mass murderers were from Michigan. Obviously, people from Michigan are dangerous."

Thus, this is Hasty Generalization Fallacy because it isn't logically justified by enough empirical evidence.

Hasty generalization is a type of fallacy that involves making a claim or reaching a conclusion based on very little evidence or instances of an event.

Since the man is unable to express themselves he had been writing for years which goes unheard. The character who has been not recognized is now full of anger and forgotten.
