Definitions of Logical Fallacies used in the QuizFake Experts: Presenting an unqualified person or institution as a source of credible information.

Fake Debate: Presenting science and pseudoscience in an adversarial format to give the false impression of an ongoing scientific debate.

False Choice: Presenting two options as the only possibilities, when other possibilities exist.

Ambiguity: Using ambiguous language in order to lead to a misleading conclusion.

Cherry Picking: Carefully selecting data that appear to confirm one position while ignoring other data that contradicts that position.

Slothful Induction: Ignoring relevant evidence when coming to a conclusion. Similar to cherry picking but with an emphasis on neglecting inconvenient information rather than highlighting convenient information.

Impossible Expectations: Demanding unrealistic standards of certainty before acting on the science.

Single Cause: Assuming a single cause or reason when there might be multiple causes or reasons.

Moving the Goalposts: Demanding higher levels of evidence after receiving requested levels of evidence.
