Vic has a point, in that most arguments you see that involve numbered steps or propositions, are just attempts to package trivialities or ill defined notions into a more impressive format to give them a superficial air of rigorosity and integrity. An internet apologists' favourite for that reason. Written out in a proper sentence, they often are obvious or obvious nonsense. For example, the one in the OP is so simplistic that numbered steps are total overkill. A simple sentence would suffice, but then it would have been immediately obvious that it involves a wrong step.
The ontological argument comes to mind as a famous example, where imnsho the steps are used to hide changes in meaning of certain words.
