Critical thinking skills: The 5 techniques of sciences denial by John Cook 7/10
- Cherry picking
It refers when an argument only selects different pieces of evidence that are shown to support a particular stance while substantial evidence contradicting it is ignored, the argument becomes fallacious.
This technique, known as selective evidence presentation, involves focusing solely on data that supports a position while disregarding opposing evidence. It can also lead to relying on personal experiences or isolated examples rather than robust arguments or convincing evidence. This results in reaching conclusions based on incomplete information, which is a form of lazy induction.[1]
