About
A rhetorical distraction or diversionary tacticA is any form of rhetorical deception which attempts to draw attention away from (or to interrupt a chain of reasoning that would lead towards) a particular conclusion, rather than attacking the argument on its own merits. The general goal of all diversionary tactics is to change the subject without being obvious about it.
