Agreeing with the principle, but not the example

[Mersadeon]

So, this one is pretty straightforward - when did you agree with a point made in any kind of discussion, but found the example to be completely inappropriate?

The one that comes to my mind first is one guy having a discussion in the train about Prometheus (the movie, not the titan). He was arguing with his friend if the movie is any good. He thought that it was stupid - and said that there was something he found illogical ruined the experience for him. One thing.
So, I was kinda interested in hearing that - there was a lot of stupid stuff which he apparently didn't mind, which one was the one that got him?

That there were so few people on the ship.

What? ...What? From all the terrible leaps of logic in that movie, all that BS that nobody gets called out on - THAT is your problem? That is actually explainable! Pretty easy to handwave! That was the one thing that broke the movie for you?



So, when did this kind of thing happen to you?

In almost every discussion? Because people rarely think their metaphors through, so while the point may be valid, the metaphor may be stupid. There's really too many to list.

But fine, here is one; "The Death Penalty is bad because life is sacred".

Yes, it's bad, but life isn't sacred.
