Identify the error in judgment in each of the following statements: I. "If you leave a concert during the encore, you will avoid traffic and get home more rapidly; therefore everyone should leave during the encore." II. "Whenever I wear my lucky baseball cap to an exam, I receive an "A." My baseball cap must induce the teacher to give me good grades."
Statement I is an example of the fallacy of composition.
Statement II is an example of confusing association with causation.
