Bending Argument

Crafting an argument that, while perhaps containing true premises, uses rhetorical sleight-of-hand, emotional manipulation, or procedural tricks to guide the listener to an unwarranted conclusion. It's an argument built like a funhouse mirror—the components are real, but the overall reflection is a distorted version of reality. This includes shifting burden of proof, using loaded questions, or appealing to irrelevant authority.

Example: "The lawyer bent the argument for the jury: 'My client is a family man, a volunteer, a patriot. The prosecution wants you to believe this pillar of the community suddenly became a criminal. Can you live with that doubt?' He bent the argument away from evidence and toward a narrative about the prosecution's character." Bending Argument

Bending Debate

Manipulating the format, rules, or flow of a debate to guarantee a tactical advantage or predetermined outcome. This includes filibustering, demanding impossible standards of proof from one side only, controlling the microphone time, or constantly redefining the topic. It's not debating to find truth; it's debating to win a performance, where the stage itself is sloped in your favor.

Example: "The moderator was accused of bending the debate by only following up on the challenger's points with aggressive fact-checks, while letting the incumbent's vague platitudes slide. The debate wasn't a fair exchange; it was a controlled demolition of one candidate's platform." Bending Debate

Bunnings Dad

(Australian) A parent who will spend weekends making one or more trips to the local big box hardware store in large part to avoid other family obligations, often inventing projects that need a specific type or screw, tool or other item in order to justify getting away. Will go into the local Hammerbarn with a list of items and come out with a range of unnecessary extras, and then realize that there were one or two items on the list that were somehow missed - thereby requiring another trip back to get it (and so the cycle continues).

"Honestly, he's just in full Bunnings dad mode at the moment, I mean the other day he said he needed to duck out to get mortar screws even though he's just adding a pegboard to a drywall - and he came back with all sorts of random crap. Heaven forbid he should take one of the kids to soccer in the morning or help out with the laundry."

space bending

the hypothetical process of folding space paths once, twice or multi-folds so as to reduce the distance between the earth and a heavenly body. This would reduce the space distance in the extreme so that space travel to that heavenly body can be made at a much shorter time that what it would take now.

If scientists could develop a space bending mechanism, man could travel to even a distant star by folding the space path to that star,say billion times.
