Somebody should pay attention to this page and state things clearly, because facts contrary to a theory that falsifies it can be labelled 'cherry picking' (ignoring the facts that are not opposed to the theory).
Of course, falsification is very valid and not 'cherry picking'. Cherry picking is a fallacy only when applied in support of a theory, not against it.
The article does not contain the words "falsify" or "falsification". It was like that in January 2020 too. What are you referring to? --Hob Gadling (talk) 18:51, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it's helpful only giving the most extreme examples of cherry-picking data (i.e. Climate change, creationism, tobacco smoking). Cherry-picking, P-hacking, HARKing, data dredging is something that happens all the time in mainstream science. It isn't limited to people with extreme or unscientific opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.40.96.92 (talk) 14:23, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
