Your Definition
A form of logical‑splaining where the perpetrator dismisses an argument by accusing the speaker of cognitive bias—confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, anchoring, etc.—without demonstrating that bias actually distorted the reasoning. The accusation is used as a rhetorical shortcut: “you’re biased” or “that’s just confirmation bias” ends the conversation while implying the speaker is irrational. Biassplaining leverages the language of psychology to pathologize disagreement, positioning the accuser as the clear‑headed, bias‑free observer.
