    Moving the Goalposts

    Moving the goalposts is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded. That is, after an attempt has been made to score a goal, the goalposts are moved to exclude the attempt. The problem with changing the rules of the game is that the meaning of the result is changed, too.

              Pretty rich of you complaining about cluttering the thread when you have not made a single constructive comment, and just keep spamming here. You’re like a random noise generator.
