How about, instead of taking the reasoning to a logical end, you just take the reasoning to a reasonable point and point out any cracks you might see?
I only say this because the logical end strategy brings up more misunderstandings—such as ‘do you really believe that this leads to pedophilia?’

I’m not saying that DD would go there, but we aren’t sitting in the corner of a coffee house.
