What is absurd is arguments that follow this formula:
1) I set up a bunch of incredibly simple rules that are meant to uniformly apply to all of reality and beyond by extrapolating banal observations, without demonstrating any of this to be true
2) My own rules produce an infinite regress
3) There cant be an infinite regress, because I say so, therefor my rules must actually be wrong in at least one case, invalidating my whole argument
4) There is only one exception to the rule, because I say so; it's not our reality, because I say so, and I am mates with it
I don't follow, are you saying that infinite regression is a real thing?
