This is a fantastically good point. I’ve often seen this failure mode and not had a name for it, such as when someone I know complains about his political opponents having a self-contradictory ideology—I always have to correct him that in fact, different people in roughly the same camp are contradicting one another, but each individual perspective is self-consistent. Now I have a name for that phenomenon!
