You've got plenty of work to do

because by dwelling on the hypocrisy of individuals you conveniently ignore the validity of their positions, and you protect their opposites from criticism for committing the same crimes. Wasn't it you who once pointed out that just because a priest is a sex pervert it does not invalidate the message of his faith? These are cheap rhetorical tricks, designed to reframe the argument, and we will not let you get away with them.

Yep, you've cleared it up all right.
