That's literally the opposite of logic. That's denial of the antecedent, a logical fallacy.
(Edit, just to be clear, I'm agreeing with you. Also, it may be affirmative conclusion from a negative premise, not denial of the antecedent, but it takes the form of an "ought" statement so it's a bit of a hard one to categorize. In any event, it's bad logic.)
