==About==
A [[proponentsist]] is someone who continues to advocate for a mistaken position by retreating into a more defensible version of said position without really acknowledging their mistake, a form of {{l/ip|moving the goalposts}}.

It is a reference to the phrase {{l/rw|cdesign proponentsists}}, a typographic error which appeared in hastily-revised {{l/ip|creationism}} texts when a US court in 2005 ruled creationism to be a religious position not based on scientific evidence, and proponents of that position hastily retreated into the more sciency-sounding term "{{l/ip|intelligent design}}".
