+The Logical Fallacies
+* '''Dismissal Without Reasoning''': Rejecting a claim without providing any counterargument or evidence.
+* '''Ad Hominem (Reverse)''': Attacking the source (scholarly institutions) as inherently untrustworthy instead of addressing the data.
+* '''Begging the Question''': Assuming one's own conclusion is true ("I know better") to prove that the opposing evidence must be false. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+The Cognitive Biases
+* '''Dunning-Kruger Effect''': A psychological phenomenon where people with limited knowledge overestimate their own expertise.
+* '''Confirmation Bias''': Filtering out objective facts that contradict personal beliefs.
+* '''Egocentric Bias''': Relying too heavily on one's own perspective and experiences over objective data. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+The Invincible Ignorance Fallacy
+This is the most precise term for this situation. It occurs when a person simply '''refuses to engage''' with evidence. They repeat their original assertion regardless of how much proof is presented against it. [1, 2]
