And the argument is a tautology. It cannot be defeated because the "logic" doesn't branch. There is no separate conclusion for "x" and "not x." Both arrive at the same point, a point arbitrarily chosen by the advocate, and one that permits of no deviation.
It is fruitless to try to counter such an argument, based as it is on that foundation. Ridicule, exaggeration, and equal intolerance are the only weapons against such idiocy.
