It is false because it doesn't account for the possibility of dead nerve endings or the people are just ignoring the pain. You'll be a moron to claim you cannot kill nerve endings, but I wouldn't be surprise if you do. You'll be a moron to claim people cannot ignore pain because I ignored headaches, knee scrapes, back aches, etc... So your argument is invalid because it ignores there obvious explanations.
Indeed the phrase "tell that to Christopher Reeve" comes to mind
There are also people born without the ability to feel pain and then there is leprosy, Anaesthesia etc, etc.
If I bring up anaesthesia, I fear he'll go into a tangent about the evils/unnecessary-need of "western" medicine.
