Nirvana fallacy
The nirvana fallacy is a name given to the informal fallacy of comparing actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives.〔 It can also refer to the tendency to assume that there is a perfect solution to a particular problem. A closely related concept is the perfect solution fallacy.
By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely implausible—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack any opposing idea because it is imperfect. Under this fallacy, the choice is not between real world solutions; it is, rather, a choice between one realistic achievable possibility and another unrealistic solution that could in some way be "better".
==History==

The nirvana fallacy was given its name by economist Harold Demsetz in 1969, who said:〔H. Demsetz, "Information and Efficiency: Another Viewpoint", ''Journal of Law and Economics'' 12 (April 1969): 1, quoted in 〕
