  It's a flaw from the correlation does not imply causation family, but I'm not aware of a specific name for it. Different prep companies slice and dice things differently, and I don't think you need to focus a lot on what labels to attach to different things, but rather on a general understanding that should allow you to use similar skills for a variety of flaws, regardless of what different people call them.

  I think @runiggyrun meant to say "correlation does not imply causation." Don't worry about the name, just know how to recognize it.
  Truth be told, for many of the flaws, their explanation is their name...I believe that is the case here.
  There are a few different ways that flaw could be worded. For instance, "the author takes for granted that X is the only explanation for Y"
