a=b=1
a^2=ab
(a^2)-(b^2)=(ab)-(b^2)
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
a+b=b
2=1
I think something went wrong in there, but I can't for the life of me find it...
Ah, yes. The divide by zero error. Thought I had something, there. I guess that sums up most every anti-rights activist out there. Convincing at first glance, or to someone who doesn't know any better, but with an underlying assumption that is just plain wrong.

"Obvious" does not always equate to "true", much though their "appeal to popularity" logical fallacies require it; and that is why we must make an effort to shoot down their logical errors every time we see them.
I just prefer doing the shooting on our turf - our words stand a better chance of surviving :).
Besides, everyone knows that dividing by zero is bad!
