Line 688:
* The Russian chronologist Anatoly Fomenko believes the Middle Ages didn't actually exist, and that this [[Conspiracy Theorist|has been kept secret for 500 years]].
* Children, before a certain age, are actually incapable of logical thinking. This is completely normal, but understanding the thought processes they follow is key in early childhood education. Google "preoperational stage" for more info.
* The lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court of the United States by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in early December 2020 as a "hail mary" attempt to overthrow the election of [[Joe Biden]] in favor of [[Donald Trump]] was [https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/10/trump-team-throws-towel-proving-voter-fraud/ ''built'' of Insane Troll Logic]. Its central thesis was an argument that the complete lack of any evidence of voter fraud was in fact evidence of a massive conspiracy that had ''perfectly'' hidden all traces of their existence and efforts to "undermine" the "true" results of the election, and demanded all the votes in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin be thrown out because of this "undetectable" fraud. It also alleged that that no presidential candidate had lost both Florida and Ohio and won the presidency, and because Biden did just this it's ''also'' evidence of fraud -- ignoring that a) a pattern of results is not an immutable natural law, and b) it's not even true, as [[John F. Kennedy]] won the presidency in 1960 in this way. It also delved into [[Artistic License Statistics]] to [https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/09/trumps-effort-steal-election-comes-down-some-utterly-ridiculous-statistical-claims/?itid=lk_inline_manual_3 "prove" that the odds of Biden winning the popular vote in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin] was [[Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics|less than 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000]]. (Let's not forget that Texas had no standing in which to challenge the results in any other state to begin with.) The Supreme Court refused to even hear the case.
