An instance where a character makes an inductive leap which proves to be incorrect, is in the novel Night Elie Wiesel. In this book, the Jewish citizens of Wiesel's town are all under the impression that the gestapo coming to their town is a good thing. They have heard that the gestapo are brutal killers, but when the gestapo originally come to them, they are kind, even giving gifts to the families. In the end, this is most definately not the case. Soon after, the Jewish citizens are segregated in ghettos, and beaten brutally at times.
The reason that this decision was made was perhaps because the characters were wishing that the Germans would not really do as they were fabled to do in the stories they had heard.
