This is a relative of Argument By Selective Observation, in that the arguer overlooks arguments that he does not like. It is also related to Straw Man (Fallacy Of Extension), in that the opponent's argument is not being fairly represented.

For this purpose, a double resonance NMR detector capable of exciting 17 O and 31 P at the same time is connected to an NMR spectrometer, and using a pulse train which permits observation of a 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal obtained through polarization transfer between 17 O and 31 P, a 31 P nuclear...

For the O−CH2−CH2−O moieties in amorphous and semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), the ZQ-CSA-dephasing and (DQ-2SQ)-CSA-dephasing methods enable selective observation of the amorphous trans components, which cannot be detected by traditional CP/MAS experiments due to complete overlap with...
