If you’re going to try to disingenuously invoke the motte-and-bailey fallacy to bolster your position, then you should at least understand it so it can be used properly. The positions that were presented were simple and very straightforward. Would you care to make an argument against any of them?

The motte-and-bailey fallacy (named after the motte-and-bailey castle) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy where an arguer conflates two positions that share similarities, one modest and easy to defend (the “motte”) and one much more controversial and harder to defend (the “bailey”).
