   There is that fallacy known as ad absurdum.  Yes it is possible make   
   nearly any proposition seem absurd by taking it to an extreme.

   Right there is a pattern in how people get caught up in seeming   
   realities.  Avoiding them is like threading your way through a mine

   help.  But are not absolute.
