"Gish Gallop" caught my eye so I looked it up in wikipedia…

"During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, misrepresentations, and outright lies in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate. Each point raised by the Gish galloper takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place, which is known online as Brandolini's law. The technique wastes an opponent's time and may cast doubt on the opponent's debating ability for an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved or if the audience has limited knowledge of the topics."

Named after a creationist who would flood the zone with absurdities when arguing against evolution.

Good to have a name for it! Thanks!

Reminds me of this quote by #AndyRooney on #60Minutes years ago…

"We have advanced to the point where the means we use to communicate are more elegant and important than what we have to say."
