I'm guessing you're referring to someone who says "source?" for just about everything, even that which is considered "obvious". My first thought is logic chopping but that seems to refer more to making trivial objections to a proposition in order to distract from its main point. I get the impression, then, that rather than any specific fallacy, it's just a person being pedantic.
Using general terms is not always bad - it depends on what the person meant. Maybe they were making a comment about 'world peace', for example. When fallacious, this would be considered the ambiguity fallacy. |
