Is it possible to spot a toupée on a man?

On Seinfeld, George gets a toupée and Jerry says that he looks stupid:





Da fukk? Am I missing something here? I think it looks good and would fool me if I saw George in public.

Is there some sort of technique to spotting toupées that I am unaware of?

The toupée fallacy is an informal logical fallacy regarding silent evidence and the problem of induction. It is a type of selection bias (and of survivorship bias) that is most readily summed up by the following phrase:

“All toupées look fake; I've never seen one that I couldn't tell was fake."

It should be obvious that such a phrase can only be said about bad toupées — ones that look fake — and not actually all toupées. If the person uttering this phrase saw a convincing toupée, they wouldn't have noticed it at all! Hence it is a fallacy to draw such a conclusion from a horrendously limited evidence base.
