Your argument makes no sense in any way, shape or form. Thus it is an argumentum ad absurdum.
reductio ad absurdum (redirected from Argumentum ad absurdum)

[Latin, Reduction to absurdity.] In logic, a method employed to disprove an argument by illustrating how it leads to an absurd consequence.

You were saying something about "fail?"

Methinks you would be better served attending to how YOU look on this thread than worrying about how I look.

Note you still haven’t answered my questions. And yes, your responses “illustrate how it leads to an absurd consequence.”

You have been bested in every category. Your forensic knowledge is shallow, your examples absurd, your reasoning illogical. Your entire “thesis” (I am kind in wrapping your rantings into such a cocoon) makes no logical sense and fails many, if not all, of the precepts of logic.

If I was you, I would withdraw. You don’t even have to admit defeat. Just say nothing and after some time you will have salvaged simple defeat from a thrashing.
