The wall of text is my fault, as copying from Kindle didn’t preserve formatting.
Here Wikipedia’s definition:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop
If I have or had any misunderstanding about the term, it might be that gish galloping seems to refer esp to conversations, like oral conversations bounded in time? Whereas the Russian-style “firehose of falsity” exists along several timescales, using a wide number of voices all chattering in contradictory ways. Nevertheless, my definition or meaning of the term isn't "mine"; it's the standard.
Edit: Fixed the wall of text & some typos/false phone swypes here.
