Whilst generally browsing around the subject of falsification I discovered that there is actually a "scientific" term for the tactic that CT's often use for avoiding the obvious - Naïve Falsification -
I found it ironic and a little amusing that the constant shifting of the goalposts that most conspiracies seem to exhibit actually has a scientific term to describe it
Or all debunkers are shills!..... it is always possible to change the universal statement or the existential statement so that falsification does not occur. On hearing that a black swan has been observed in Australia, one might introduce the ad hoc hypothesis, 'all swans are white except those found in Australia'; or one might adopt another, more cynical view about some observers, 'Australian bird watchers are incompetent'.
