look no offense but I'm speaking to the people you're attempting to influence (mods removed a slightly different phrasing of this for civility reasons, let's see if removing a key phrase is good enough)

there's a typical sneaky bullshitter strategy that sneaky bullshitters always use (i am using "bullshit" according to the wikipedia definition so it is civility, there's no other way to communicate the idea). the strat is this: sneak an assumption in and treat it as a fact. then, start an argument about an unrelated thing. nobody argues about the assumption. kapow! the sneaky bullshitter has just sneakily pushed a bullshit idea and gotten away with it. can you find the assumption, internet posters?

awful source, awful article, if this is news try again with a good one
Look I'm gonna engage with this for the benefit of people watching. I'm not engaging in personal attacks as you're attempting to imply. I don't want to "own" you in a debate. I want the people reading this to look more critically at the opinion you're trying to insert without directly saying, so that they're better inoculated against this kind of stuff in the future. Just saying "you opinion bad me good" doesn't do that! Of course if you wanted to have a truly gigantic brain and "own" me you could openly name the assumption you're trying to push, and show it isn't an assumption (which is your job to do as the person making the argument, by the way, unless you're a "prove there's no bigfoot anywhere" type individual)
