Point taken, but I would advance the view that the popularity of such a categorical point stems from the fallacy. It seems to be the backbone that makes deontological ethics intuitive.
In any event, it's still clearly an instance of begging the question.
But my goal was to cast a shadow on the off-topic point, not to derail the thread.
I'm not sure it is; that government involves coercion is a substantive premise.
Unfortunately, people who agree with the off-topic point can hardly accept such behaviour without response.
