It was originally titled “The Typical Mind Fallacy”, but I’m taking a hint fromt the quote and changing it to “Generalizing From One Example”, because that seems to be the link between all of these errors. We only have direct first-person knowledge one one mind, one psyche, and one social circle, and we find it tempting to treat it as typical even in the face of contrary evidence.
Skimming through the article I can see why I remembered it as “Typical Mind Fallacy” rather than “Generalizing From One Example”. I will fix the link.
(I think you meant to link to “Generalizing From One Example” instead of “The Mind Projection Fallacy”, which is something different.)
You are right, thank you for pointing that out.
