"Drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not." - Internet person

This is exhausting.

Arguments like this don't persuade anyone—in fact, they do the opposite. They just highlight that you don't have any reasonable points to make, and are left relying on unfalsifiable and absurd claims.



What's exhausting is your analogy, drunk driving does in fact cause more problems than it solves. Make a reasonable point yourself first before saying I don't have one.
