This is an example of naïve realism, which is the tendency to believe that our own perceptions and interpretations of the world are objective and accurate, and that others would share our views if only they had access to the same information. Frida assumes that her grandfather's dislike of turtles is based solely on ignorance, and that if he had the opportunity to know her pet turtle, he would change his perspective. This assumes that her grandfather's dislike of turtles is unfounded, and fails to consider the possibility that he may simply have a different preference or opinion.
