Exactly - the second you start responding within how they’ve framed an argument you’re going to lose. Their premise is wrong - you need to challenge the presumptions being made.

They also want to use extremes to justify the common use-case, which basically enables an “anything goes” mentality.

Tends to be a whole lot of unfounded assumptions packed into a lot of them.

My #1 rule: make them define their terms.
