A false belief, argument, or logical error presented in response to or in opposition to another fallacy or false claim.
From counter- + fallacy (from Latin fallacia, meaning 'deception' or 'deceit'). A term for fighting false ideas with other false ideas.
A counterfallacy is when someone responds to a lie with another lie—like if someone falsely claims 'all immigrants commit crimes,' and someone responds with the equally false 'no immigrant has ever committed any crime,' both sides are wrong and nobody learns truth.
