The conjunction fallacy itself seems like a fallacy. Aren't there are a lot of different things that frequently but not always occur in conjunction with one another? Like...not all heavy rains cause flooding and not all flooding is caused by heavy rain, but still, it'd be weird to say that the probably of each one occurring independently is higher than the two occurring together.
