That is equivocation.
- maxxxxx 9y agoNot sure I understand what you are saying.
- psyc 9y agoPerhaps they meant false equivalence? Although it’s not quite that either.
- CalChris 9y agoThanks, I used this opportunity to actually look up equivocation and it wasn't quite what I meant. I'm not sure what the exact word should be. False equivalence is close. My point is that while they disagree, these two sides are not equivalent in their approach to logic and fact. They are only being made to seem equivalent.

- wolfram74 9y agoI mean, if one side is accepting reality and the other delusional, that statement holds. I don't think the grandparent was implying both sides held incompatible delusional ideas.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI meant that most people don't bother understanding issues but just vigorously repeat talking from points from "their side".
