Projection

Projecting your own flaws into others. A common defense mechanism for dealing with repressed guilt for one's actions.

Projectionist - Why do people make fun of a flat earther while they can't obviously provide any proof of a globe?

A cognitive bias where one projects the scientific method—as one understands it—onto all forms of inquiry, assuming that any legitimate search for knowledge must follow the same procedures. This projection operates when someone insists that history isn't real because it can't run experiments; that philosophy is worthless because it doesn't test hypotheses; that personal experience is invalid because it's not reproducible. The projection lies in taking a method that works brilliantly for certain questions and assuming it must work for all questions—that the scientific method isn't one tool among many but the only tool worth having. This projection closes off whole domains of understanding, dismissing them as "unscientific" rather than recognizing that different questions require different methods.
Example: "He claimed that literary criticism wasn't real knowledge because it didn't use the scientific method—projection of the scientific method onto a domain where it simply doesn't apply."
