The truth will have no conceivable defence, where as a fictional narrative can always be confirmed as fallacy.
John: I believe that we can grow our gross revenue 10% over the next six years using this marketing strategy.
Harvey: Well, facts are friendly. until then, fiction is fallacy.
The definition of fact being an absolute truth, where as to define fallacy is to holding a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments.
Facts are friendly, fiction is fallacy - would be defined as until you have evidence you are unable to make a case against the fallacy of your argument.

Where you think you're more awesome than everyone else, and that your opinions are so right, they don't require justification and everyone else is stupid for thinking differently.
Person 1: "I disagree with you, I think the Beatles is a boy band because some of their early stuff shows especially the commercialism aspect of boy bands."
Jack: "That's wrong, obviously the Beatles isn't a boy band."
Person 1: "That's actually the Jack Fallacy, not a real argument."
Jack: "Anyone who doesn't believe in God is an idiot, there's obviously a God."
Person 2: "the Jack Fallacy."

this fallacy applies can be applied whenever you decide to end an argument, but the person keeps going over and over.
(you): I'm done arguing you (whomever)!
(whomever): I'm not! blah blah blah blah
(you): Case Closed Fallacy., leave me the hell alone.

- 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.

This is how you win a debate. You call out Nemesis Fallacy and your opponent has to concede. Nemesis Fallacy is anything you want it to be. Use your omnipotence to give it a definition.

A hypothesis that predicts a pattern of hypocrisy from prominent figures in entertainment, politics, etc. It posits that, "the louder someone is for a value of ethic and/or moral behavior, the less likely they actually subscribed to it in their personal lives." The name comes from the stereotypical "Christian values" conservative who supports anti-LGBTQ legislation, only to get caught leaving a gay bar or sleeping with a male prostitute. This isn't isolated to such cases, as the Gay Republican fallacy applies to any case of a public figure who's a proponent for a specific cause/value getting outed for actions that contradict their advocacy. This can be a celebrity who's a big supporter of feminism, only to get ousted for having a history of predatory behavior. It could also be a reality TV show husband whose a proponent of "traditional family values" and being loyal to your wife getting caught having an affair or an account on an adult chat site. Maybe is comes from a place of guilt or self-loathing, or maybe these individuals' public personas are a self aware grift to draw up support from specific demographics (the religious, the politically correct, etc.). The answer is unclear, but the Gay Republican fallacy always has been and always will be; as ling as there's a celebrity or politician ruins their reputation by being a complete hypocrite.
Wow, James Franco hopped on the #metoo movement, only to get ousted for using his acting school to pressure female students into sleeping with him. Just another example of the Gay Republican Fallacy.

A bill clinton fallacy is whenever you lie about a important subject within a debate, mainly theologically.
