What logical fallacy is this?

The passage presented is an example of the "tu quoque" fallacy, also known as the "appeal to hypocrisy." This fallacy occurs when someone attempts to discredit an opponent's argument by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently with the argument’s conclusion, rather than addressing the argument itself.

In this case, Ross Cheit implies that since memory experts argue that memory is reconstructive and can change over time, they themselves might be reconstructing their research findings. This statement does not address the validity or reliability of recovered memory therapy directly. Instead, it deflects by suggesting that the experts’ findings might be compromised by the same issue they study, without presenting evidence to refute their actual arguments or findings regarding memory. This approach sidesteps the real issue and attacks the credibility of the researchers without engaging with the substance of their claims.
