"In the interests of deconverting someone, right?"

Not really. I'm not particularly interested in deconverting people, same way that I don't tend to go to little children and tell them there's no Santa.

But if a person wants to argue his faith is logical, then he's trespassing on my turf -- so it was more in the interests of defending logical thinking that I pointed out an obvious unwarranted assumption in the logical argument.
