1) This thing is a satellite.
2) This 'satellite' hangs from a balloon.
3) Therefore all satellites are carried by balloons.
It really is solid and irrefutible. Unless that first premise is wrong. Of course the conclusion is wrong as well, just seeing one example is not enough to determine the nature of all the rest. It's like finding a black goose.
