That's as may be, but you can't just change the common definitions of terms to win the argument.

I suppose if I had written a longer comment I might have gone on about how lots of times advocates choose bad positions (so like here, the trope is trying to argue that preventative care reduces medical costs when there's a better position arguing that the benefits of preventative care outweigh the costs).
It's not really very interesting to discuss the bad position at any length, except maybe as a launching point into some more interesting adjacent discussion.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. Everyone arguing against me is trying to claim that and then say it's a dumb position.
Try arguing with my actual point in the future.
I'll grant you I could have stated it more clearly. My bad. I also clarified, yet this assertion lives on.
Whatever.
