Congrats! You just hit the clever hypothetical on my anti flock bingo card!

Step one: find two things that differ in nearly every relevant respect

Step two: identify the broad category they share.

Step three: ask, “If you accept one, why don’t you accept the other?”

So your position is that if you can predict someone's arguments (valid or otherwise) before they make them that those arguments are less valid? Maybe if you had pre-countered them but looking at your comments here and the linked blurb that doesn't seem to be the case.

Unlike your hypothetical, mine is actual.
