常见逻辑谬误:no true scotsman/没有真正的苏格兰人

no true scotsman

You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.
In this form of faulty reasoning one's belief is rendered unfalsifiable because no matter how compelling the evidence is, one simply shifts the goalposts so that it wouldn't apply to a supposedly 'true' example. This kind of post-rationalization is a way of avoiding valid criticisms of one's argument.

Example: Angus declares that Scotsmen do not put sugar on their porridge, to which Lachlan points out that he is a Scotsman and puts sugar on his porridge. Furious, like a true Scot, Angus yells that no true Scotsman sugars his porridge.

你提出了一个观点,并收到了别人的批评,你试图用“诉诸纯洁”的方式来捍卫自己的观点。

你试图通过马后炮和修改标准的方式来维护自己那有缺陷的观点。

例子:
小红:“所有荷兰人都喜欢喝胡辣汤”。
小明:“孙越就是荷兰人,他就不喜欢喝胡辣汤。”
小红:“好吧,所有【真正的】荷兰人都喜欢喝胡辣汤。”<——小红这里就犯了“没有真正的苏格兰人”的谬误
