I had to look up some terms, so for anyone else:
Gish gallop = “a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm an opponent by presenting an excessive number of arguments, without regard for their accuracy or strength, with a rapidity that makes it impossible for the opponent to address them in the time available.”, coined about a particular creationist’s debate strategy.

CADT = “Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers”, describing a situation where software is re-written so often that filing bugs against it is useless, coined by jwz here about GNOME’s development approach: https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html
