The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy happens when someone looks at a dataset, spots a pattern after the fact, and then frames it as though they predicted or were specifically looking for that pattern all along. The “target” gets drawn around whatever looks interesting, rather than being defined upfront. It’s a post-hoc move, meaning the hypothesis is formed after peeking at the results instead of before collecting them.
