"The Oort Cloud Fallacy occurs when someone argues that something must exist or be true simply because it is theoretically possible or hasn't been definitively disproven—especially when the claim is distant, vague, or unverifiable. The fallacy draws its name from the Oort Cloud: a hypothetical region of icy bodies surrounding the solar system that has never been directly observed but is widely accepted due to indirect evidence."
"Hey John, do you believe God exists." "We have no proof he doesn't so he must." "Oort Cloud Fallacy."

Get the Oort Cloud Fallacymug.

During a debate about the wage gap, a leftist says to a right wingerin retaliation to an argument they made: haha why did I somehow know that you would say that "the study only compares two checks between a man and a woman. It does not not take the other factors into account, such as hours worked, efficiency of the product, etc". That means that you're wrong because I knew you would say that. They used the Toyu Fallacy
