Debate skills of making laws out of nothing

Generally speaking, the method of producing something out of nothing is mainly to use the other party's point of view to make it develop towards the absolute direction outside the conditions, to absolute the problem, or to deliberately misinterpret some concepts in the theory of dialects, to artificially "condense" the obvious wrong reasons or the impossible cases, so as to refute the other party.

This skill is often when the other party's point of view is correct or basically correct, and it is not possible to refute it from a positive perspective, he intends to first admit his point of view, and then give a counter example to "prove" it. This "counter example" is the product of the absolutization of his point of view, and prove the "error" of his point of view through an absolutization error. For example, in a debate on the theme of "it's reasonable to award Olympic champions heavily", Zhengfang put forward the following statements during the debate:

"As a widely developed activity of human beings, sports must be connected with a certain economic base..."

In fact, this inference should be said to be true. But if we affirm this inference, the combination of spirit and material of "awarding Olympic champions" will have a theoretical basis. The opposition can not agree in any case.

Therefore, starting from this inference, the opposite side intentionally "distorted" it and came to an unexpected conclusion, which aroused a warm response from the audience and disrupted the strategic plan of the positive side. They retort that:

"Then, should we add five square holes to the five rings symbolizing the five continents on the Olympic flag in order to fully express the positive point of view?"

In fact, this refutation is out of thin air, which is a deliberate distortion of the point of view to be demonstrated by the right side. However, due to its proper application, simplicity, power and humor, it also achieves the expected effect.
