Out of curiosity, is there a name for this "fallacy", if it is one, since to me it mostly seems like the other party is failing at some basic level of critical thought.
I've been dealing a lot with arguments of this nature at work, and it'd be great to have a name to it. Pointing it out in the verbatim sense ("ok, but that's true of <your counter position> as well") becomes tiring quickly, and honestly, just causes the person to move on to the next fallacious claim.
