If you describe a motor as flat, you mean that it is dull and not exciting or interesting. Or that the motor is one that generates less than it maximum capable outputs under normal conditions. A motor that operates at less than 100%

Get the Subdivided flat mug.The cheap rhetorical tactic of comparing an opponent's complex, nuanced, or heterodox position—especially one that challenges a scientific or institutional consensus—to the belief that the Earth is flat. This fallacy is a thought-terminating cliché designed to bypass engagement by equating skepticism of a specific scientific model (e.g., string theory, certain climate projections) with a denial of basic, observable reality. It's guilt-by-association with the ultimate symbol of absurdity.
Example: "Questioning the completeness of the Standard Model of particle physics? That's like being a flat earther." This Flat Earth Analogy Fallacy absurdly conflates cutting-edge, theoretical physics with the denial of elementary geometry, aiming to shame and silence legitimate scientific debate.

Get the Flat fuck mug.The logical fallacy of comparing any position one disagrees with to flat Earth beliefs, implying that because flat Earth is ridiculous, the position in question is equally ridiculous. The fallacy works by guilt by association: if you believe X, you're as crazy as a flat Earther, therefore X is false. It's a rhetorical shortcut that avoids engagement with actual arguments, substituting mockery for reasoning. The flat Earth analogy fallacy is especially common in online debates, where "next you'll tell me the Earth is flat" serves as a conversation-ender, allowing the speaker to dismiss complex positions without addressing them. The fallacy ignores that positions must be evaluated on their merits, not on their resemblance to the most extreme beliefs imaginable.
Flat Earth Analogy Fallacy Example: "She raised concerns about vaccine distribution equity. He responded with the flat Earth analogy fallacy: 'Oh sure, and I suppose the Earth is flat too?' Her concerns about global health inequality had nothing to do with flat Earth beliefs, but the analogy dismissed them without engagement. The conversation ended; the fallacy won."

Get the Flat Earth Analogy Fallacy mug.The stronger fallacy of claiming that two positions are equivalent because both challenge some form of consensus, ignoring vast differences in evidence, reasoning, and scientific support. The flat Earth equivalence fallacy asserts that believing in climate change is like believing the Earth is flat because both "go against the mainstream," or that questioning vaccine safety is like questioning gravity because both involve skepticism. The fallacy ignores that skepticism is not a binary; it's a matter of evidence. Some consensus views are supported by overwhelming evidence; others are not. Equating them based on the formal similarity of "questioning consensus" is intellectually lazy and rhetorically manipulative. The equivalence fallacy is beloved of false balance journalism and concern trolling.
Flat Earth Equivalence Fallacy Example: "The pundit committed the flat Earth equivalence fallacy, saying that climate scientists were like flat Earthers because both were 'certain' about their views. The equivalence ignored that one certainty was backed by decades of research and global consensus, the other by YouTube videos and wishful thinking. False equivalence had replaced honest comparison."
