Denying the antecedent is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone argues that because the antecedent (p) is not true, the consequent (q) must also not be true. The correct symbolization is "p → q; ~p; therefore, ~q," which is a misrepresentation because the truth of the consequent does not logically follow from the falsehood of the antecedent.
