{{Short description|Argumentative fallacy}}<noinclude>{{More citations needed|date=July 2010}}</noinclude> The '''regression''' (or '''regressive''') '''fallacy''' is an [[informal fallacy]]. It assumes that something has returned to normal because of corrective actions taken while it was abnormal. This fails to account for natural fluctuations. It is frequently a special kind of [[post hoc ergo propter hoc|the post hoc fallacy]].
