The Texas Sharpshooter

The Fallacy

Only looking at the clues that make you look right, and ignoring all the clues that show you are wrong.

Why it's wrong

Imagine throwing darts at a wall, and then painting the target around where the darts landed so it looks like you got a bullseye.

Example

I am great at spelling! I spelled 'cat' and 'dog' perfectly. (Ignores that I misspelled 10 other words on the test).
