Does this fallacy pass the google test? Search for "overwhelming exception" does not return any sites on which it is used as being a fallacy, except our own content. [[User:Mrdice|Mrdice]] 02:54, 2004 Feb 16 (UTC)

==Dubious==
It is unclear whether the current Alan Greenspan quote constitutes an "overwhelming exception". The link provided was unsuitable (a blog page containing what appears to be a rant) [[User:Dougy5537|Dougy5537]]. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 09:59, 13 August 2011 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: Since he classifies the exceptions as "notably rare" and doesn't say the invisible hand otherwise ''always'' works, the example indeed doesn't belong. Regardless of whether the ''actual'' exceptions are overwhelming or not, Greenspan's reference to them is not an example of this fallacy, but rather intended to emphasize their rarity (in his opinion). I've removed it. ± [[User:Lenoxus|Lenoxus]] ([[User talk:Lenoxus|" *** "]]) 03:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
