A rigid, literalist approach to debunking that treats certain epistemological rules (e.g., “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”) as sacred, infallible commandments. The debunking fundamentalist rejects any flexibility or context, insisting that the same standards apply equally to a cancer cure claim and a personal spiritual experience. They often cite a small set of debunking “scriptures”—popular skeptic books, famous debunking videos—as authoritative, and they excommunicate those who question their methods. This is debunking as a closed belief system, not as an open‑ended inquiry.
