Cherry picking is an age-old practice of selectively presenting information to support a desired conclusion.
Imagine having the perfect outfit for a night out, only to find that one item is missing from the picture – the perfect shoes. You can either wait for them or cherry pick from the closet and say, "This is close enough."
Or, in academic circles, cherry picking is the art of finding a single study that supports a preconceived notion, while ignoring all others that contradict it.
It's like finding a grain of truth in a sea of lies – it's a delicate balance of fact and fiction.
Cherry picking: because who needs the whole truth, anyway?
