    what more is there to tell? it's exactly what it is, and pointing it out is bad? should we just take this kind of trite low effort baiting and suck it up, because we're too grand to bother? fuck that, pointing out factual faults in someone argument is not a trope, it's the core of rejecting bankrupt arguments.

      IMHO: downvote (or flag) and move on.
