Fundamentally just because the current value is at a low point doesn't make something not a threat.
The easy way to think about it by handwaving half-lives of an element. You start with 100 and end up with 50 for a 50% survival rate but also a raw loss of 50. Each of those remaining 50 still are going to have a 50% survival rate despite that the next raw loss is ~25.
But yeah; you can challenge the source of the argument as invalid as opposed to just challenging the argument as invalid.
