    granted, I should have given more thought to my hyperbolic hypothetical.

    point being I dread to think what “lesser evil” we’re looking at when the time comes

      No you really shouldn’t have to be. They are responding in bad faith and distracting from the point of a serious conversation by um actuallying the fake sci-fi of a hypothetical.
