Those are logical fallacies that people use in arguments/debates -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies
we all use them to some degree but i argue with a member of this board who is just the worst offender when it comes to logic fallacy tricks - 'moving the goalposts' and throwing out 'strawmen' at you while in an argument drives me nuts, when somebody does it to me i know there's no way i win the debate and it's completely futile to continue on
yes it's Sly
