Goalproof

A seemingly objective standard of evidence that is, by its very nature, impossible to meet in the given context. The goal is the lack of proof; it's a criterion designed to be perpetually unfulfilled, thereby permanently protecting a belief from disconfirmation. It’s the ultimate defensive rhetorical fortification.
Goalproof Example: A conspiracy theorist claims, “The government is run by lizard people. Any document or expert saying otherwise is part of the cover-up, so the only goalproof would be a lizard person voluntarily revealing itself on live TV.” Since this will never happen (by their own definition of the cover-up), their belief is rendered unfalsifiable and “proven” by the lack of proof.

Moving the Goalproof

A defensive tactic where, when faced with overwhelming evidence that meets the stated standard, the arguer changes the criteria for what makes evidence trustworthy itself. The goal (what’s needed) and the proof (what counts) are both shifted simultaneously in a single, fluid maneuver.
Example:
Moving the Goalproof Example:
“Show me a reputable media report on that.”
You show a report from the Associated Press.
“The AP is part of the corporate media complex. Their ‘facts’ are compromised. You’d need a leak from a brave whistleblower inside.”
They’ve moved the goalproof—redefining both the source and the nature of acceptable evidence in one move.
