Argument Picking

A form of fallacy picking where you select specific parts of an opponent's argument to invalidate the whole, rather than engaging point by point. The move identifies a weak point, a minor error, or a poorly chosen example and uses it to dismiss everything else—as if one flawed brick collapses the entire building. Argument Picking is selective destruction: find the weakest part, attack it relentlessly, then declare victory over the whole. The fallacy lies in treating the whole as no stronger than its weakest part, ignoring that arguments are webs, not chains. One weak strand doesn't collapse the web.

"He found one minor factual error in my twenty-point argument and declared everything invalid. That's Argument Picking—selective destruction pretending to be comprehensive critique. One mistake doesn't make everything wrong; it just makes one thing wrong. But picking lets you feel victorious without engaging the other nineteen points."

Evidence Picking

A broader and more blatant form of cherry-picking where you selectively choose which pieces of evidence to present, creating a false narrative. It’s the borderer form between simply omitting data and actively fabricating it. You present your "evidence" as a complete picture, but it's actually a carefully curated collection of facts that support your case, with all contradictory facts left on the cutting room floor. It’s the hallmark of a biased documentary or a misleading advertisement.

Example: "The documentary was just evidence picking; they interviewed only happy customers and completely ignored the thousands with complaints."

Effect Picking

A form of cherry-picking where you selectively focus on certain effects or outcomes of a process while deliberately ignoring or minimizing others, especially the side effects. It’s used to make a complex issue look simple and beneficial. For example, a company might highlight the job-creation effect of a new factory while completely ignoring the effect of pollution on the local community. You pick the effects that matter to your argument and discard the rest.

Example: "The politician was effect picking by only talking about the tax cuts' effect on the stock market, while ignoring its effect on the national debt."

Mostly used for small plane owners. When you have free time away from your significant other, a phrase you use to throw them off the scent while you secretly indulge in secret sexual fetishes.

Honey, I promise, I’m only parachute packing today.
