What logical fallacy aligns?

At Theranos, we can perform all of our lab tests on a sample 1/1,000 the size of a typical blood draw.  No other laboratory is more accurate than Theranos.”

- from the Theranos, Inc. website

Answer

There isn't really an opportunity for a fallacy here. These two statements are independent of each other, and there's no specific conclusion to be drawn from them. Knowing a bit about the history of Theranos, I know that the machine never did what they claimed it did, and that many of the results they presented were either tested with a competitor's equipment or straight up falsified, so this goes under the category of factually incorrect.

The statement from Theranos, Inc. contains a couple of logical issues, primarily involving overgeneralization and an unsupported claim:

1. **Hasty Generalization**: The claim that no other laboratory is more accurate than Theranos is a bold assertion that lacks supporting evidence. Without providing data or comparisons with other laboratories, this statement generalizes Theranos's superiority based on limited or nonexistent proof.

2. **False Advertising/Unsupported Assertion**: The claim that Theranos can perform all lab tests on a minuscule sample size with superior accuracy seems too good to be true without supporting evidence or peer-reviewed studies. This plays into making an appeal to novelty or an assumption of superiority based on an unsubstantiated claim.

3. **Comparison Fallacy**: By stating "no other laboratory is more accurate than Theranos," the statement potentially engages in a false comparison. It assumes that the reduced sample size inherently correlates with increased accuracy without acknowledging the complexity and factors involved in lab testing accuracy.

These logical pitfalls highlight the importance of demanding evidence and validation for claims, especially those involving scientific achievements.
