Your Definition
The advanced technique of shifting the standard for what counts as an acceptable source after the initial source has been provided. First, they demand a source. You provide a mainstream news outlet. They say mainstream media is biased. You provide a peer-reviewed study. They say academia is corrupt. You provide government data. They say the government lies. You provide firsthand video evidence. They say it's deepfake. The sourcepost keeps moving because the real demand is not for evidence but for agreement, and no source will ever be acceptable if it contradicts what they already believe. Moving the sourcepost is the debate equivalent of running away while claiming you're still fighting.
