"Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings."
It'd be great if we had some kind of tool for looking up information on the internet. Some kind of engine that does searching for you. It'd make things so much easier when people don't understand something. They could look it up themselves instead of acting like they can't and don't know what it means. I guess we can always hope for such a thing someday.
