editThis is my best guess. Please help. There were links to this fallacy and no entry for it. I am not really qualified to speak about it, though I am curious to know better what it is. This is my best attempt to make a start and I may have my facts wrong. chris 15:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Conflicting definitions
editAssuming one's own objectivity is different from projecting your own tendencies onto someone else's mind...but yet this article uses both phrases to define the term "psychologist's fallacy."
If I'm a New Yorker, I might incorrectly assume I'm unbiased when I proclaim the Yankees the greatest baseball team of all-time. That would be a mistake in thinking. That would be separate from me assuming that other people also feel the Yankees are the best, or that any other mental trait I have is common to others.
Please remove one or the other definition, or specifically state that the term "psychologist's fallacy" can refer to both. 69.108.27.56 (talk) 05:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
relationship to psychological projection
editThis article needs to discuss the relationship of the subject with the concept of projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection likewise, the article on projection needs to refer to this article. --80.187.97.65 (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
