    They’re just out here with scholarly citations for every single thing they’ve ever said and didn’t reply because they couldn’t immediately cite a paper with a counter argument.

    there is big difference between not having scientific citation and not being able to say why you say things.

    “i am just saying words man, why do they have to mean anything…?”


    The reductio ad absurdum fallacy occurs when someone tries to prove an argument false by misapplying the premises or making false and absurd conclusions from the argument. It is similar to other fallacies, such as the appeal to ridicule, the straw-man, and the slippery-slope fallacy.
