Thou shall not seek to prove or disprove an argument by taking it to absurd extremes.

Actually, I think taking an argument to logical extremes is a very valid argument.

For example the Laffer curve was based on extremes. At 100% taxation government revemnue = $0. And at 0% taxation government revenue = $0. And somewhere in between those two extreme points is a curve known as the Laffer curve.

Another example. When I say raise the import tariffs to restore American industry, there’s usually some jerk that says “but that will help the unions”. And I always reply sarcastically with an extreme position, “then let’s offshore all American jobs and really teach those unions a lesson”.
