Okay, what about this fallacy, one my dad always used when I was a kid.
If I say, "I didn't ask to be born," he would come back with, "No one can know for sure, maybe you did ask to be born."
It's like he would act, when it suited, that there was a radical unknowability to the world which could make anything he said possible, like he could turn basic empiricism on and off at will.
