Neologism of the Day

[furrbear]

danthered supplies the Word of the Day:

Blankenhorning \ˈblaŋ•ˈken•ˈhȯr•niŋ\ (v): Methodological malpractice wherein disjoint and/or unrelated research is compiled, cursorily surveyed without scrutiny of its veracity, cherrypicked on the basis of confirmation bias, then redacted and proffered without citation to draw conclusions.
2010, from David Blankenhorn, a putative star defense witness in Perry vs. Schwartzenegger whose testimony provided more support for the plaintiffs' case than for that of the defendants.

Context is entire post and QWP.
