e.g. “fallacy of grey” is an entirely local neologism.
What’s the standard term?
It’s a form of the continuum fallacy.
gwern holds that it’s actually false balance. Might be a mix. But one or both should have been named IMO.
That’s interesting. False balance doesn’t seem to replace anything with a continuum. In particular I’m having trouble rephrasing their examples as fallacy of grey examples.
But, eh, I trust gwern.
