But, that’s the thing. Hyperbole is the only way of doing this an issue. Like you said with your example, any minimally functional citizen won’t have any trouble with this.
It might be said that it is true that you can't reason a person out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into -- even with the use of hyperbole.
But I am not unreasonable. I arrived where I am rationally.
And hyperbole here simply injects misguided, disingenuous noise into our interactions where no noise is necessary at all.
Don't sell yourself short. If I can discuss it without going hyperbolic, then so can you.
