["We have never not played a film based on content before," Jeffries said.]

Does that mean that they show kiddie porn and snuff flicks?

Grow up.

You grow up.

He made an unqualified statement that they have never before refused to play a film based on content. I was merely pointing out the fallacy of that statement, since there literally thousands of films that they have undoubtedly refused to play based on content.

It is a valid argumentative technique to point out the ridiculousness of an overbroad, unqualified statement by countering it with a ridiculous example.
