*Argumentum ad O Veni:
A logical fallacy in which the arguer, while energetically indicating the absurdity of the opponent's position and indignation at being exposed to it, neglects to perform what should be the simple task of showing how it is flawed. Example: "Dude, don't you know Nike uses sweatshop labor?" "What? I like these shoes." "But poor Indonesians are working twelve hours a day in unsafe factories!" "Well, I suppose they must be better off working there than staying home, or they would stay home." "Oh, come on!"
