Rounded-Fallacy

- The false, misleading, or mistaken idea that is can appear to be sound and reasonable but still in error.

- Although investigated to be untrue or misleading, the fallacy can still be labelled a sound argument somehow.
- "Look, I see your point, and it sounds like you have thought it through, but, after careful thinking, you are expressing a rounded-fallacy that is unfortunately untrue."

- Conspiracy theorists can point to many indications and pieces of information in order to believe a rounded-fallacy that 9/11 was a set up from the government in order to start a way in Iraq for nefarious reasons. Many would point to this to be false and untrue, however, that could be very difficult to do.

- MAGA supporters believe in the rounded-fallacy that America was once great, but will have to argue how America was great for all ethnic minorities and the ethnic majority within the country.

Maxwell Fallacy

An over reliance on ai and using ai erroneously. Using leading prompts into large language models that generate a desired response and using that response as proof. The worst kind of fallacy there is. Also posting screen shots of this fallacy is double bad.
“That’s a classic Maxwell Fallacy thinking you are right after you finally got ChatPT to agree with you after asking it enough questions! None of us humans are falling for your straw man arguments though.”

JPEG fallacy

A logical fallacy where one reductively presents an idea or object in terms of it's basic fundamental parts, missing the point of it, often to make an argument seem more simple or valid than it would be with the added context, similarly to how detail is lost with the compression of a JPEG.
Person A: (raging at a game)
Person B: "Why're you getting so mad? It's just pixels on a screen, bro." (An example of the JPEG fallacy, because sure, it is "pixels on a screen", in the most basic sense, but it's grossly reduced.)
