Ẃokish Equivocation - Blake >> .
A Kafka trap is a fallacy where if someone denies being x it is taken as evidence that the person is x since someone who is x would deny being x. [Just as someone who isn't x would deny being x.] The name is derived from the novel The Trial by the Czech writer Franz Kafka.
This is fallacious is that it lumps together people who genuinely are not guilty of a perceived offense in with people who have committed the perceived offence and are trying to escape punishment.
