I see. Yeah, that kind of makes sense.

I make the same point a lot, someone is performing some ridiculous flawed logic and I just say that even if your conclusion is right it still doesn't lead to what you want it to. I'm trying to name the technique... "Betting on the wrong horse" or "shortcoming fallacy" or "pointless fallacy". Or something. "Dismissal by irrelevant conclusion", that is, your argument can be dismissed because it doesn't even prove your point.

Feel free to send me a private message.
