Remember, it is the structure of the argument that makes it invalid, not the content. The fossil record argument is structured the exact same way, so adding up two invalid logical arguments doesn't somehow give you a valid argument.
You're a rules-lawyer grasping at straws to keep your argument relevant to the discussion at hand.
