A pejorative term for trial by a jury, especially in civil cases. It flows from the notion that jurors are so unpredictable and so subject to changes in their thinking during trial and deliberations -- based on emotions, personal experience, misunderstanding the evidence, lack of attention to the instructions they are given, or occasionally dozing off or daydreaming -- that there is no rational way of predicting which side they will ultimately favor.
Oliver: So I heard you decided to waive the jury and try that copyright case to the judge.

Felix: Yeah, that case has so many documents and celebrities and whatnot it would be like OJ Simpson suing Donald Trump for securities fraud – who needs to play peer pong with something like that? I think the judge will get it.

Oliver: Word. Gotta give the Brits credit, over there you get a jury only in a libel case.

Ping-pong Player Fallacy

An ad hominem version that attacks the debater personally, labeling them as someone who only argues for the sake of conflict or "playing the game." It pathologizes the act of disagreement, painting the person as a compulsive "player" addicted to rhetorical combat rather than truth-seeking. This fallacy dismisses all their points by attacking their purported motivation for engaging at all.
Example: "Don't bother with him, he's not actually interested in solutions. He's a classic ping-pong player fallacy—he just likes the sound of his own voice and watching people react. Any reply you give is just another serve for him." This disqualifies the person from being heard by assigning them a malicious, sport-like intent.

Ping-pong Game Fallacy

The accusation that an entire discussion has degenerated into a repetitive, unresolvable rally of objections and counter-objections with no progress, and that continuing to participate is inherently irrational. The person deploying this fallacy appoints themselves the referee who declares the "game" pointless, often to mask their inability to land a substantive point or to escape a losing position. It invalidates the process of dialectic by dismissing it as childish play.
Example: Two philosophers are deeply engaged in a nuanced email thread exploring a contradiction. A third person interjects: "You two are stuck in a ping-pong game fallacy. This is just intellectual circle-jerking that goes nowhere." This unfairly reduces a complex, evolving dialogue to a mere game, aiming to discredit the entire endeavor rather than engage with its content.
