Someone who is oversensitive to facts, especially when it does not conform to their current beliefs. It's usually a close-minded person too proud or stubborn to admit when they are wrong or when someone they admire is wrong. In debates it's commonly accompanied by talking over the other person or as loud as possible to stop the flow of facts.
As a religious man, Bob went against the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community by refuting evolution on national TV in spite of all the facts. Bob interrupted by quoting scripture as the scientist tried to explain radiometric dating. Bob must have fact allergy.

A Bames fact is when someone answers a question, or makes a statement with what they assume to be correct in a factual manner, when in fact it is completely false.
A Bames fact is commonly followed up with aggressive insistence, even when shown blatant disproof of the Bames fact.
Rarely upon disproof, a Bames fact can be followed up with wild theories as to how the receiver of the Bames fact is somehow at fault.
IE: "Dude I recorded the conversation, listen to it!" - "That must have came through your speakers wrong"
