Opposition Paradox 

"(The) Opposition Paradox" is a term credited to the philosopher C.M. Nutter for describing when people are unwilling to try new things that others recommend without a logical reason other than to simply provide opposition to the idea of trying something new.

Donna recommended her and Steve go to Chinese food for dinner. Steve opposed the idea even though he never tried Chinese food. Donna pushed and eventually Steve conceded and they had Chinese food for dinner. After trying the food Steve fell in love with Chinese food wonder why he opposed it and was never willing to try before. Therefore being a victim of the Opposition Paradox.

Opposition Bias

A broad bias toward opposing any information, argument, or perspective that doesn't align with one's existing commitments. Opposition Bias isn't about specific claims; it's about team identity. If it's "them" saying it, oppose it. If it's "us," support it. The content doesn't matter; the source determines the response. It's the bias of tribalism, of identity over inquiry.

"He'd agree with a policy when his side proposed it and oppose it when the other side did—same policy, different response. Opposition Bias: not about what's said, but who says it. The opposition is the point; content is irrelevant."
