I also loathe it when people project agreement on the person they are arguing with. I do not think it is lost on you or I that it is an effective tactic to quickly find where the common ground and the real differences are in a set of beliefs or arguments.

Also I'm confused about the disagreement between your first sentence and your second one. I think you're saying that it's effective but that you loathe it nevertheless.
