==== Nutpicking ====
A variation on the selection form, or "weak man" argument, that combines with an [[ad hominem]] and [[fallacy of composition]] is ''nutpicking'' (or ''nut picking''), a neologism coined by [[Kevin Drum]].<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Nutpicking |author=[[Kevin Drum]]|magazine=[[Washington Monthly]] |date=11 August 2006}}</ref> A combination of "nut" (i.e., insane person) and "[[Cherry picking (fallacy)|cherry picking]]", as well as a play on the word "nitpicking," nut picking refers to intentionally seeking out extremely fringe, non-representative statements from or members of an opposing group and parading these as evidence of that entire group's incompetence or irrationality.<ref name="Aiken" />
