Letterman's Fallacy

The letterman's fallacy is a scenario in which you are asked a basic question and extrapolate your answer in order to gain a better understanding of the question and this in turn is then used against you to gaslight you into a malformed position that you do not necessarily stand for.

The name letterman comes from the fact that it sounds fancy to say.
