Today, on average, we can look forward to a longer life span than the generation before us. It is obvious that this has been possible only and only because of the millions of dedicated doctors who have ensured our good health. Identify the fallacy committed in the above argument.

Crediting longer lifespans solely to doctors commits the fallacy of false cause.

Longevity results from many factors such as nutrition, sanitation and public health.

The argument singles out one factor and treats it as the only cause.

This mistakes a partial contributor for the whole and exclusive explanation.

Assigning an effect to an inadequate or wrong cause is the false-cause fallacy.
