It's actually a rather strange argument. He suggests a valid objection to the proposal, but he knows that it's based on a false premise -- so he puts it in the mouths of his opponents in order to make them look bad: kind of a combination straw-man and guilt-by-association. "I say you're taking this position for reason X, and reason X is false, therefore your position is wrong".</let> <let save name=debate-point-req-all val="" /> </hide><exec mod=debate-mw func=ShowDebateData />
