Can Sea lioning be a fallacy?I had looked up to a bad-faith debate tactic called, "Sealioning" which is in quite basic terms asking a person to prove everything that they claim regardless of its level of relevance to the conversation. So this is a tactic, but gish gallop is also a tactic that tries to do something extremely similar but instead of asking questions to prove something, it gives arguments. Not all fallacies are tactics, but if gish galloping can be fallacious, can sea lioning be too? It sounds like its linked with nitpicking which is also already in the book, any ideas? |
