At what point does that stop being a logical fallacy? We’re on year 13, is it year 30? 50? If there’s no end date then this can be said about everything and is therefore not a fallacy.

If we take the USD as an example:

1. Created in 1792

2. Gold standard in 1900

3. Abandoned gold in 1971

Not sure at what point USD was no longer a logical fallacy. If it's the 1971 non-gold-standard dollar to now, then it's exactly 50 years as of now. Or for the full history of the dollar it's 229 years.
