Yes, excellent point. (And we can go further still.)

I've been calling this the "fallacy of ignored instantiation". Personally, this is something I've been ruminating on for a while and have meant to do a writeup on it for a couple years now. Hopefully, though, that name is descriptive enough that a certain crowd would, upon hearing it alone, understand almost exactly where I would go with it.

(Alternatively, if anyone knows of any good treatments that already exist on this topic, please let me know.)
