Your Definition
A tactic where one participant deliberately moves the debate into a meta‑debate about logic, [definitions], or fallacies, “fishing” for a procedural error they can exploit. Instead of engaging the content, they ask meta‑questions: “Is that a [logical leap]?” “[Are you sure] that’s not a hasty generalization?” “What’s your definition of X?” The goal is to hook the opponent into defending their reasoning rather than advancing their argument. Logical Fishing is often used by bad‑faith debaters to derail discussions and exhaust opponents.
