Why are you so insistent that people should post detailed plans for destroying the human race on public fora?

I don't think it is necessary for the argument to work. Magnus Carlsen can be confident he will beat me at chess without giving a detailed explanation of every move he will make, in advance.

Because its a mass hallucination/misconception/lie and lots of powerful people are saying that wiping out all humanity is possible, and I am saying, oh yeah, tell me ONE way that is truly possible.

If you make gigantic claims about some terrible disaster that might happen then I think you have the onus to give even one plausible explanation of how.
