Falsification is NOT cherry picking

Latest comment: 2 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

Somebody should pay attention to this page and state things clearly, because facts contrary to a theory that falsifies it can be labelled 'cherry picking' (ignoring the facts that are not opposed to the theory). Of course, falsification is very valid and not 'cherry picking'. Cherry picking is a fallacy only when applied in support of a theory, not against it.

Otherwise, theories could never be falsified, because any fact against them would be 'cherry picking'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.119.29.102 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

The article does not contain the words "falsify" or "falsification". It was like that in January 2020 too. What are you referring to? --Hob Gadling (talk) 18:51, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't need to contain those words. Falsifications are a subset of the entire evidence available and as such, they can be labelled as 'cherry picks' and 'science denial'. 2A02:2F08:ED1A:1500:8DB0:8791:2B57:BF62 (talk) 12:04, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I repeat: What are you referring to?

If there is something wrong with the article, say clearly what it is. If you want to change something, say clearly what it is. --Hob Gadling (talk) 12:26, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
