My problem with the linked argument -- and specifically, with the idea of linking it and not so much the argument -- is that it takes a statement with validity and then tries to use a kind of rhetorical trick to argue that it's false. It is not false, which is the entire point of my post, and those rhetorical cookbook tricks harm understanding and lead us away from truth, because the world is full of nuance and complexity.
