I hypothesized an argument which I knew would not hold. For most of us, that would stop us from pursuing the matter further.
For Democrats, they're also aware of these things, but they put forth bogus arguments anyway, and then win. I guess their thinking is that by starting the ball rolling, who knows what could happen, at least they get more players in the game who can make things happen, and that's better than from where they were originally. Everything is an opportunity to create another opportunity.
That's why I think someone should make an argument like the one I did, once in a while, just to mix things up a bit.

However, some people seem to go to great lengths to support their ideas.
Maybe I've been posting here too long when I have a hard time telling the difference between people making a purposefully false argument and people who are simply trying to find any possible means to justify their stance.
Maybe that's because I catch myself from time to time being the person making absurd arguments to justify my own views. :)
