I proved your first premise incorrect and now you want to move the goalposts? It doesn't work that way.

The only premise you have proved is that you don't have a clue about which you speak.

You never bought a Gatorade drink. You always thought it was a great idea that a product would rehydrate thirst and replace electrolytes after a hard workout. However, you believed it was just too expensive to try even once, even though you really liked the idea.

Somebody told you they bought Gatorade five years ago, and they liked it a lot. But a few of your friends never bought another Gatorade in the past five years--and they never told you why. You never gave it any thought, because you believed Gatorade was too expensive anyway.

Today, Gatorade has entered into a sponsorship with a golfer. You hate golf. Your friend who bought and drank a Gatorade five years ago doesn't like golf much either. It doesn't matter that football players and tennis players drink Gatorade at every game and match, runners and gardeners drink Gatorade to quench their thirst, as they have for many years. Golf entered into a Gatorade sponsorship for an event, and you know that golf is a four-letter word.

You decide you will positively never, ever drink Gatorade now. You never did buy a single Gatorade before, but you certainly will never drink Gatorade because today they have a golf sponsor. You are beginning to feel proud of yourself, touting, "I never drank a Gatorade before. Those of you who drank Gatorade aren't morally pure and golf-free clean like me."

You now feel that everyone who drinks Gatorade is crazy. You call for a boycott! Your friend agrees that a boycott is a great idea, even though they hardly remember what Gatorade tastes like after five years.

Stamp out golfers! Stamp out Gatorade! You insult everyone who drinks Gatorade because everyone should hate golf. Golf and Gatorade both begin with the letter "G". You begin to suspect that all words beginning with the letter "G" are bad too. Gardening and guns are next. You don't have a garden and you don't own a gun. Gardening and guns are expensive to buy and maintain. You call for a boycott! And so it begins again...
