Argument by exception.

The left does that all the time.

Abortion: what about the 12 year old girl that was raped by her uncle?

Climate change: look at this one spot somewhere on earth and how it’s gotten hotter, ignore the snow blizzards elsewhere.

Guns: look an assault weapon was used for a crime (small percent).

Abortion: Once upon a time, 35 years ago, there actually was someone that bombed an abortion clinic. It’s not common. But you’d never guess that reading the media which still mentions this constantly.

....

They use the 1% exception and pretend that’s an argument to make a rule. It isn’t. It actually shows they’re stupid, or their readers are stupid and those writing that garbage are manipulative.

Yes, but you’ve got it opposite.

The exception is if a king fu master beats a boxer.

King fu is movie stuff.

That sounds good but in the practice of martial arts is simply not true. I have heard so many times “ there are no superior arts, just more skilled practitioners”. Simply not true. There are techniques that work a high percentage of the time that when practiced against a resisting opponent actually work. Most traditional martial arts teach a plethora of useless techniques practiced against a willing opponent. They look amazing with a willing opponent and simply do not work against a resisting opponent.
