screen time fallacy

The misconception that a robot or AI's behavior can be attributed to excessive "screen time", similar to how it affects human children, ignoring the fundamental differences in programming, autonomy, and design between machines and humans. It's just a matter of coincidence that such humanoid robot was conceived and "born" at a lab with as many screens as a sci-fi spaceship.
Blaming the humanoid robot's inappropriate actions on a 'screen time fallacy' is just ridiculous; it’s not like it was sitting in front of an iPad binging brainrot contents!

The Christmas Fallacy

Your boss's belief that, no matter how much work there is to be done, it will all be finished before the Christmas holidays so "we can start next year with a clean slate." See also "work smarter not harder."
"This is a joke. We'll never get it done before Christmas."

Zeno's Paradox Fallacy

The futile use of verbosity or technical blather in an attempt to ascribe logic to a fallacious argument.
No matter how much technical detail you can use to explain the genetic relationship between you and that chick you kissed, I know she's your sister, and I'm not listening to your Zeno's Paradox Fallacy nonsense.

Quizmaster Fallacy

When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:

A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850

You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.
"How did you know that was the right answer?"

"It didn't follow the pattern of the other answers, why else would the Quizmaster have put it there? It's the Quizmaster Fallacy in action!"
