You're refusing to address someone's stated argument, and in fact, are saying something that is nonresponsive if he means what he is actually saying.
Yes, sometimes you have to do that. But making it your default behavior when addressing all people in the real world who don't agree with you is a bad idea.
Who said anything about making it your default behavior? There's a difference between "many" and "most", and an even bigger difference between "many" and "all".
Okay, change that statement to include the word "most".
Making it the default behavior for when addressing most people who don't agree with you is still a bad idea.
