It's a fine example because that wasn't your argument to start with! You ALWAYS change your argument to something else, something the other person never even was trying to debate, to pretend you are winning! Yeesh, once again you show you can't loose with any sort of grace. I win the original argument, and ALREADY agree with the argument you pretend you are arguing now. Why disagree with this thing you are arguing now when I ALREADY perfectly agree with it? What, you really think you can trick me into believing I don't think that? You might as well suddenly say "Oh yeah? Well you're wrong, black holes ARE invisible!", as it would be a similar complete subject change to some other argument which I already agree with anyway.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
