Whilst generally browsing around the subject of falsification I discovered that there is actually a "scientific" term for the tactic that CT's often use for avoiding the obvious - Naïve Falsification -

I found it ironic and a little amusing that the constant shifting of the goalposts that most conspiracies seem to exhibit actually has a scientific term to describe it![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Or all debunkers are shills!..... it is always possible to change the universal statement or the existential statement so that falsification does not occur. On hearing that a black swan has been observed in Australia, one might introduce the ad hoc hypothesis, 'all swans are white except those found in Australia'; or one might adopt another, more cynical view about some observers, 'Australian bird watchers are incompetent'.
