You can confirm the fallacy of composition that I listed in any good book on logic or logical fallacies. Oh, it's real.

Yes, it's real. It also isn't applicable of the statement that you want to use it on, as I pointed out in my direct reply to your post that makes that assertion. In fact it took me a while to decide if you were misapplying the fallacy of composition or had reversed the fallacy of division. I finally assumed the former, and apparently that bears out as correct.

Isn't if great when someone googles to get a source, picks the first one, cites it authoritatively, and doesn't know there's an editing error on that site in the area cited.
