Effect Picking

A form of cherry-picking where you selectively focus on certain effects or outcomes of a process while deliberately ignoring or minimizing others, especially the side effects. It’s used to make a complex issue look simple and beneficial. For example, a company might highlight the job-creation effect of a new factory while completely ignoring the effect of pollution on the local community. You pick the effects that matter to your argument and discard the rest.

Example: "The politician was effect picking by only talking about the tax cuts' effect on the stock market, while ignoring its effect on the national debt."
