I’m not sure if this counts as a new type of logical fallacy, or if it’s just a general tactic. I call it ‘micro specificity’ where someone takes a commnet and uses specific facts to undermine the actual idea.
For instance, I wrote that Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House circa 1976, and Ronald Reagan removed them when he got elected. I got a long reply that ignored everything about Carter’s attempts to rein in Big Oil and instead gave a lot of details about 1970s solar tech.
