Occasionally I hear people tell me that what I am saying is wrong or problematical because of X, when I acknowledged X right from the start when I put forward my thesis. For example, I might say in advance that something is pure speculation, only to have the other person say when I am finished talking, “But that’s just speculation.” Naturally, during the course of a conversation an interlocutor might not remember everything that was said, but they have no such excuse if it is something written.
I don’t know if this fallacy has a name or not. Usually, the ones with names are cleverer than this.
