Valid conclusions
Valid stereotypes lead to valid conclusions.
"Local" "news" article about an accused embezzler.
Embezzlers look like this:
The defendant in the story looks like this:
Whoa! All wrong! She can't be an embezzler. Reading the story, turns out she isn't an embezzler in the strict sense. Proper embezzling is done by a bookkeeper or teller who has the power to fiddle with the numbers. This pretty young defendant was misusing the company credit card to pay for personal stuff. She wasn't in a position to juggle the books.
More like theft by deception.
