Good piece by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social about a fallacy or thought terminating premised on demanding research that’s already been done. This one is particularly effective on the ever credulous Serious Person Centrists who’ll treat any question as legitimate as it’s civilly posed.

Another one from me: the official write-up of what I'm calling "the square one fallacy" (though at least one person beat me to it!)
"It’s contending that we need to study something that has already been studied, sometimes to death."
