Jingle-jangle fallacies

Jingle-jangle fallacies are erroneous assumptions that either two different things are the same because they bear the same name (jingle fallacy); or two identical or almost identical things are different because they are labeled differently (jangle fallacy). The term was coined by Truman Lee Kelley in his 1927 book Interpretation of educational measurements.
