Most common criticism of this semi-popular tweet is: "Yeah, right, look at [x country], you think it's really that [corrupt/incorrupt]?"
It's like the inverse of Faulty Generalization. Refusal to generalize because you found an outlier.
Many such cases! https://t.co/TSOUmg5J8b

Scientists are very bad about this and also tend to have a refusal to generalize because the variation occurs along some spectrum, therefore โeverything is really the same.โ Well, no, itโs not. Thatโs just asinine. But Iโve heard many scientists with apparent normal brain functioning claim this.
