One upmanship in English

business.kid

I have to write a report (10,000 words) on College work in the "accepted" format where you report on your own work without using 1st person, 2nd person, or if possible, 3rd person:-// "I/You/He designed the product" - not allowed. "The product was designed." - preferred format. I have a problem with this: The product should not be the subject of that sentence, because a design of the product was the end result of the effort described. If I had gone on a bender instead, there would have been no product design and in my view the required sentence is clearly unsafe. What's the word to describe the inherent logical fallacy?
