Ignoratio elenchi

Drawing a conclusion intended to refute some particular point, a conclusion that may even be valid (depending on the strength of the premises used to support the conclusion) but, by ignoring the actual issue at hand, fails in its attempt to refute.

"The argument, 'Some people say this candidate SHOULD NOT be elected because of their *crimes*, and their *ignorance*, and their *corrupt acts*, but the people who say that are wrong, in fact this candidate SHOULD be elected, because they're *so darn likeable*,' is an ignoratio elenchi. It attempts to refute an argument by drawing an opposite conclusion while completely failing to address the issues raised."

Ignorance Objectivity Bias

The belief that not knowing much about a topic actually makes you more objective—that knowledge itself is a form of corruption. The Ignorance Objectivist thinks that experts are biased by their expertise, that learning creates distortion, and that the fresh, untrained eye sees things more clearly. This is the bias of people who pride themselves on "just asking questions" without doing any of the reading required to understand the answers. It's ignorance reframed as a virtue, naivete as methodology.

"I haven't read any of those studies, so I can look at this with fresh eyes, unbiased by all that research," said the man whose "fresh eyes" were about to reinvent a wheel that's been round for decades. Ignorance Objectivity Bias: when not knowing becomes a flex.
