Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy
A phrase created by John R. Williams III in early 2024.
The fault-to-ratio fallacy refers to the mistaken reasoning where someone dismisses an individual’s entire set of beliefs or arguments simply because they hold one or a few demonstrably false or flawed views. This fallacy ignores the "ratio" of truths to faults, assuming that one error invalidates all other ideas or arguments, even if some of them are inherently correct or well-founded.

Example:
Person A: "I believe the Earth is flat, but I also believe that 2+2=4."
Person B: "Since you believe the Earth is flat, everything you say must be wrong."
Here, Person B commits the fault-to-ratio fallacy by rejecting Person A’s correct belief (2+2=4) because of their incorrect belief about the shape of the Earth. Instead of evaluating each idea on its own merit, they discredit all ideas based on one fault

Get the Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy mug.When a someone posts something thinking it’s based, when it is infact widely accepted, non-controversial, and has no one arguing in the comments.
High like low comment ratio, implies that the poster may possibly not be a human but instead is infact an automated bot account, or a human with NPC like tendencies which can fool people into presuming it’s a bot.
This usually requires highly tribalistic & partisan behavior. Meaning there may not be anything critical or based with that account’s other posts. This is specially true if that account has repeated occurrences.
There is a direct correlation between posting controversial matter and getting many comments.

Get the ratio mug.The ravioli ratio is used for dining at restaurants to figure out if their ravioli dish is worth buying. For some reason lots of restaurants skimp on raviolis or over charge I have solved this problem by using this ratio. The ratio is figured out by asking the waiter how many raviolis come in the dish and diving that buy the price. If the ratio is over say $4-5 per ravioli then don’t buy it, not worth it and way over priced. The golden ratio is $3 per ravioli or under if you get lucky. Keep in mind there are small,medium(regular) and giant ravioli sizes. For small use $2 per ravioli as the landmark and for large or giant use $5 per ravioli as the landmark regular is $3.
