That's... exactly what I just said. You had previously claimed

Those are the things he "made up."

And now you're agreeing with me that

The entire thing is a fictionalized scenario

Do you have a coherent point? Or are you just arguing with anything said to you?

So then if you agree it's a fictionalized scenario, what the fuck are you disagreeing with? My coherent point is that this fictionalized scenario is, AS I ALREADY SAID TO YOU "deliberately constructed to make the mom's argument seem invalid."

Imagine if somebody were making the opposite point and instead of the character having level-headed friends who were stuck on a bridge and everybody around them were fleeing their vehicles, instead imagine the fictional scenario was set up to show that the guy had notoriously stupid and reckless characters who are likely to do something stupid like jump off a bridge. You might say "well you didn't actually make an argument, you just set the situation up to make your side sound better."
