So that's an example.
I took his logic and I've applied it to something else that shows his logic doesn't work.
Now, what's not going to happen is he is not going to say, I have been defeated, you are the winner.
What will normally happen at this point is they'll start backtracking, or they'll start trying to think of new reasons, or they'll change the parameters of their argument.
But all of this is him retreating, and retreating is...
seen as weakness in the debate.
And a lot of the arguments that he might present after that will not... will in many cases not be as strong.
And you can keep recycling these same techniques until...
you know, hopefully they fought the debate, but if you get, especially in social situations, if you get a good checkmate, if you get a good line on him, then that actually, because when people think back to the conversation, they don't think back to the, they don't have the transcript, but they do think back to these gotcha moments, you know?
So it's a good way of immediately, you know, attacking his credibility with a response like that.
Oh, that's a good question.
Well, he's actually, to a degree, shot himself in the foot.
And that's an idiom for any of the learners, which means he's made a mistake.
He's made an emotional argument without an immediate plan to back it up, without expecting to be challenged.
And then he was challenged.
And the best thing he was able to produce was a very feeble logic for it, which was then attacked.
So at this point, he would need to redefine his parameters or make a new logic, or he could go on the offensive and then need to attack me in some way.
Yeah, reducto ad absurdum.
Well, then I can progress my argument and say, well, on good evidence, I can make a case for believing in God.
The way that you believe in things without seeing them, I can believe in things also.
