This is why debating children is so annoying.
You start out with (allegedly) serious issues. The debate moves along, and each "serious" issue evaporates as soon as it's examined with the least amount of scrutiny.
And you're standing there, at the end, waiting for the light to dawn on the child: that this was silly & irrelevant from the git-go, and perhaps they should put in a little more effort up front, use a little more skepticism in selecting their arguments, be a little more demanding of themselves ...
... and suddenly the "ass obsession" jokes start.

Can't live with 'em. Can't retroactively abort 'em.
