I just created the subverse under your first suggestion. Regarding your second statement, sorry, got a little ahead of myself.

I guess your first two choices were a false dichotomy.

I would actually reccomend against v/fallacies, that just encourages the logicians fallacy :)
But more seriously, it does continue an attitude that logical fallacies are damning, when in reality the whole of science basically operates on a big one: (A->B) ^ (A->C) ^ (A->D) ->(B^C^D->A) basically describes the process of experimental falsification, and is completely invalid logically. v/rhetoric works better.

Is there somewhere I could go to have that fallacy that you mentioned spelled out a bit more? Sorry, I'm a bit of a pleb in the world of logical fallacy.
