In his work Autobiography, John Stuart Mill writes:"Mr. Austin, who was four or five years older than Mr. Grote, was the eldest son of a retired miller in Suffolk, who had made money by contracts during the war, and who must have been a man of remarkable qualities, as I infer from the fact that all his sons were of more than common ability and all eminently gentlemen" (Mill 73).When Mill defends the idea that Mr. Austin was "a man of remarkable qualities" by stating that his sons were all capable gentlemen, which logical fallacy does Mill use? slippery slope false dichotomy ad hominem red herring
