A red herring is a type of rhetorical tactic, typically used to obfuscate, that involves referring to an irrelevant point. It can be thought of as a point, reference, or example, that distracts from the main point of a discussion or larger argument.

|
|
>**Example:** "Bacon must be healthy for people because I have a 95-year old grandmother who eats bacon every day!"
