This fallacy misinterprets the act of avoiding a predicted negative outcome as evidence that the prediction itself was faulty, disregarding the role of the effective response.
In reasoning, we must remember that an accurate prediction may not manifest if an effective response is executed, which is the intended purpose of responding.
When a predicted outcome does not occur due a proactive response, concluding that the response was unnecessary fails to recognize the crucial impact of that response.
Analogies, such as avoiding driving off a cliff after a warning, exemplify how effective actions can prevent negative outcomes, thus challenging illogical conclusions about their necessity.
