Argument by Selective Reading Description: When a series of arguments or claims is made and the interlocutor acts as if the weakest argument was the best one made. This is a form of cherry picking and very similar to the selective attention fallacy. Logical Form: Person 1 makes arguments X, Y, and Z. Argument Z is the weakest. Person 2 responds as if argument Z was the best person 1 has made.
