No, but the false consensus effect is what you did. Assume people are the same as your opinion.
What about the respiring mammal effect, whereby both you and I are simultaneously respiring, allowing us to not die and enabling our respective cognition? It's not particularly relevant either.
Most people expressing opinions assume that their opinions are widely held.
I'm coining a new logical fallacy. I'm calling it the logical fallacy logical fallacy, whereby people think that enumerating logical fallacies and cognitive biases somehow makes their argument more compelling. Really, it just makes you look like a vapid lazy thinker.
