Ah yes, the absurdity of consistently inaccurate speculation being consistently inaccurate speculation.

Chicken Little vs. The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Where's the flaw in the logic, again?

    The Boy Who Cried Wolf is literally a cautionary tale about fallacious reasoning.

    The people in charge of protecting against wolves should not have ignored the person crying about it just because they had been wrong previously

    Awww...You don't even know the story?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf

    "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index. From it is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable[2] and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims, with the result that subsequent true claims are disbelieved.

    The only poor reasoning was the Boy, the main character, using bad info and emotion to raise false alarms until alarm fatigue brought harm to those around him.
