He is infamous for his complete inadequacy at reading studies and articles, as well as his questionable sexuality. To "do a Tommy Hall" is to make an argument and provide a reference in support of the argument, completely oblivious of the fact that the article refutes your argument.
The "Tommy Hall Effect"
Tommy has a fallacy named after him with the titular called the "Tommy Hall Effect", no similarity to the actual "Hall Effect". The Tommy Hall Effect is the when someone asserts something is true from a peer reviewed paper or scientific source, then upon future review of said source it is determined that the source actual contracts and indicates the exact opposite of what the person was asserting to be true. We suspect this effect came into being by the fact that Tommy has never read more than an abstract of a peer reviewed paper since, as with Nephilimfree, he only reads the title of the paper before claiming it supports his argument.
