As Bastian Stern has pointed out to me, people often mix up pro tanto-considerations with all-things-considered-judgements—usually by interpreting what is merely intended to be a pro tanto-consideration as an all-things-considered judgement. Is there a name for this fallacy? It seems both dangerous and common so should have a name.
