Ameizo's definitions
Statements, beliefs, logical entailments, or intentions falsely attributed to someone—especially during debates or arguments—that were never actually expressed. Phantom information is almost always unintentional, stemming from the person's ignorance and inability to fully comprehend an argument or a stance.
