    Hyperbole using extremes at both ends to bias a point is a fallacy and not conversing in good faith. It’s a tool when used correctly, you have not.

    You’ve never heard of guerrilla marketing before have you?

    This isn’t something new that they’ve done, why do you think it can be called out, theres even wikipedia pages where you can see examples of other companies doing this. You’re not seriously thinking I’m coming up with this new novel never heard of thing before…. Are you…? Because that’s just clearly foolish.

      Wait so its incorrect to say “its as hot as hell in here”?

      I’m explicitly implying it is truly hot as hell, while not even addressing the possibility its cold as shit as well. Hell I’m not even using it to describe the fallacy that it is, in fact, not hot as hell, as hell may not even exist physically - much less have an average atomic kinetic energy.

      Or maybe were both just being pedantic dicks cause were incorrect in our original claim?

      Damn I gotta get back to English class
