Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy

It may be fallacious to make a poem about a fallacy But I wish to talk about a problem in reality Once upon a Texas morning, a man held in low respects took a gun from his home He moved quietly in the afternoon shooting all 6 rounds He took red paint and drew a target that astounds He claimed I himself a sharpshooter greater than ol’ holm He held himself a genius in nirvana’s dome Not knowing of that I would use it on these battlegrounds It is Arguable But scientists always do this Shooting gene differences Making excuses Saying you are DNA Check your fallacious privilege Context help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy Recently, I was doing some fallacy research for improving myself with making arguments, after reading this Wikipedia article I realized a large amount of genetic research didn’t seem to match up and decided that I should share my realization about this. Anyway whether this is useful or useless, thanks for reading.
