This term is a fairly specific logical fallacy. The phrase means that a person thought a reasoning committed the same fallacy as in the following faulty argument:
"Take as topic X, the knowable thing. It follows [absurdly] that X is crushed [or crushable] because garlic is an X and garlic is crushed [i.e., crushable]."
