    I’d also like them to, but the strategy isn’t meant to be helpful. Idk the rhetoric term but it diffuses the orig argument & attempts to distract. responding to it is pointless 🤷‍♂️

      It’s literally a tactic used by children when they’re being reprimanded. If you ever come across an “adult” that argues that way, tell them to sit back while the adults talk.
