Comments

Cherry picking:
This technique is defined as “selectively chooses data leading to a desired conclusion that differs from the conclusion arising from all the available data”.

Jumping to conclusions:
Ignorance of information and arbitrary conclusion.

Impossible expectations:
This involves demanding unrealistic levels of proof, or misrepresenting the nature of scientific uncertainty. As science is typically probabilistic, calls for absolute scientific certainty are an effective method of casting doubt on scientific findings. This denialist technique is known as “Scientific Certainty Argumentation Methods”.
