A "Red Herring" is a logical fallacy that distracts from the main issue by introducing irrelevant information. It often leads the audience away from the original argument or topic, making it difficult to focus on the key points. This technique is commonly used in debates, discussions, and even literature to create suspense or mislead. In literature, a red herring can be a plot device that misleads readers or characters, often found in mystery genres. For example, in a detective story, a character might be presented as a suspect, only to divert attention from the true culprit. This keeps the audience engaged while obscuring the real issue at hand.
