I'm having a TERRIBLE geriatric moment in my mid-forties. I know this phrase, I've used it before, and it has suddenly left the building. For about the last hour. It's driving me insane, please help.
What is the word/phrase used to describe a situation in which someone makes a statement as factual, conclusive, or absolutely evidence based, simply because it worked for them? Or because it may have worked for a handful of people they know?
Examples:
This mascara is the very best you can buy because it's the only one that lifts my eyelashes and makes them thicker without clumps.
or
This is the only diet supplement that works because I lost 60 pounds using it.
I don't even know how to google this without only getting key words as hits.
Thanks!

I can think of a couple words and phrases that may capture the situation you described. Someone making broad statements like the ones in your question may be universalizing, or making a false, faulty, or sweeping generalization. I hope one of these options is what you were looking for!
