Funny thread at SB.com

I find this thread at SB.com particularly amusing, all things considered ... this is why, of course. The fellow is asking whether an act of planetary destruction is more phaser-like, or more superlaser-like, when the two weapons in fact seem to share the key principles of operation being questioned.

I suppose I could have posted this in the Rules of Evidence, but I always find it interesting when unquestioned assumptions are used so broadly. Using a contention as an assumption in other arguments is a very sneaky way to try and get it accepted by a wider audience.
