Morton's fork
A Morton's fork is a type of false dilemma in which contradictory observations lead to the same conclusion. Its name refers to the rationalising of a benevolence by the 15th century English prelate John Morton. The term in its broad application dates at least to the mid-19th century, although Francis Bacon noted in 1622 that it was established by that point in specific reference to Morton's original argument.
