Blowfish Fallacy Icon

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Blowfish Fallacy Icon

The Blowfish fallacy is a form of red herring, used to distract people from important scientific findings. This technique focuses on an inconsequential methodological aspect of scientific research—that typically have no substantial impact on the final result—blowing it out of proportion in order to distract from or cast doubt on the research conclusion.

Deutsch: Kugelfisch Icon

Kugelfisch - Sich auf einen unbedeutenden Aspekt wissenschaftlicher Forschung fokussieren und ihn über Gebühr aufblähen, um von den eigentlichen Ergebnissen der Forschung abzulenken oder diese in Zweifel zu ziehen.
