Banging Plates goes beyond a "Red herring", it's making noise about the red herring insisting that it is the one true interpretation, even if it's just a profitable misinterpretation. It is a psychological idea, creating a chaos where logical analysis becomes difficult; now fear shepherds one into going for the red herring even if with a calm mind he would never have taken that option. Many other hidden meanings, like "our plates are empty, so feed us by buying our silly commercial idea".
The snake oil salesman was banging plates to convince people to buy his medicinal product.
The Prime Minister advised people to go to the balcony and bang their plates to spread awareness about the need to wear masks.

A “plate” (Platonic Date) is a planned date where the person doesn’t really expect anything romantic or serious to come out of it. It’s more of a casual meet-up out of curiosity, politeness, or even boredom. It carries a “no pressure” vibe, and the outcome is uncertain. A date can start as a “plate” and evolve into something more romantic or even into a “bate” if the chemistry shifts.

Leo: “Nah, not really. It’s just a plate. We’re grabbing a drink, but I don’t think there’s anything romantic there.”

Alex: “How was your date last night?”
Chris: “Eh, it was more of a plate than anything. We just talked and went home separately.”
