All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable

The cynical but often accurate observation that for any complex issue, a person can selectively present isolated data points ("cherry-picked" facts) to construct a compelling but deeply misleading narrative that supports their pre-existing bias. This isn't a claim that all facts are false, but that their power comes from context and omission. A single statistic, a lone study, or an individual anecdote can be wielded as a definitive "truth-totem" while ignoring the vast forest of contradictory evidence surrounding it. In the information age, data isn't power; curation is.
Example: A climate change denier points to a single cold day in July and declares, "See? No global warming! All facts are cherry-pickable." They've plucked one irrelevant data point from a planet-sized dataset of rising temperatures, using a "fact" to fabricate a falsehood. It's the weaponization of the technically-true to obscure the actually-true.

Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable

The formal sociological and epistemological principle that because human knowledge is vast and fragmented, and because all narratives require selection, any political, ideological, or marketing campaign can and will build its case on a foundation of carefully chosen, verifiable facts. The theory states that the battle is never over "facts vs. lies," but over which curated subset of facts achieves cultural dominance and gets woven into the accepted story. Truth becomes a matter of narrative victory, not just verification.
Example: The Theory of All Facts Are Cherry-Pickable explains how two historians can both use authentic archives to "prove" diametrically opposed views of an empire—one highlighting its architectural achievements (cherry-picked facts of grandeur), the other its slave ledgers (cherry-picked facts of brutality). Both are factual, but the chosen narrative defines the "truth."

puckable offense 

A provocation by an individual that warrants retaliation by way of a piss puck.

A puckable offense occurs often in dorm rooms on college campuses for a multitude of reasons.

Puckable offenses include, but are not limited to:
--Drinking the last beer in someone else's fridge
--Puking in someone's room
--Blaring loud music at a late hour, prohibiting sleep
--Just being an unlikeable asshole
Tom walks into Jim's dorm room while Jim and friends are drinking.

Tom: What's up Jim? (takes last beer from fridge)

Jim: Hey, that's my last beer.

Tom: I know, thanks. I'll get you back sometime. (leaves room)

Jim: (talking to others in room) Tom is such an asshole. Taking my last beer is definitely a puckable offense.

(Jim creates a piss puck, waits till 3 AM and kicks in under Tom's door)
