The anti-accounting fallacy consists in denying government actions had to cost something. The negative anti-accounting fallacy consists in denying that government actions produce something, which might be either negative, neutral, or positive.

It is a form of denialism [1] and pigheadedness[2].

Whereas the accounting fallacy wrongly derives a moral conclusion from an accounting statement, the negative anti-acounting fallacy denies an accounting statement on the basis of a moral premise. Worse, it denies the underlying reality.
