- Hän esitti filosofisen argumentin tarkoituksenaan saattaa argumenttini naurunalaiseksi ja kritisoida sen seurauksia. | - He's engaging in reductio ad absurdum. It's the logical fallacy of extending someone's argument to ridiculous proportions and then criticizing the result. And I do not appreciate it. |
