RationalWiki in a nutshell.



Want to know what the Gish Gallop supposedly is? It's this:



Linking to a "100 reasons the Christian God exists and all atheists are wrong and stupid" Buzzfeed article or a "20 feminist research papers that prove Mysoginy and the Patriarchy and common widespread sexist sexual harassment are real and all men really are pigs" Buzzfeed article, and playing the "I have more evidence than you! That means I'm right!" card without realizing how stupid this whole thing is. To be honest, this feels more like a strawman than an actual thing people do commonly.



It is NOT:



Having evidence to back up what you say

Having more evidence to support your case than your opposition

Having better evidence to support your case than your opposition

Having evidence they(The person or group you're showing the evidence to) is unwilling to read, understand, or accept
