Some of these follow from the “central fallacy,” e.g. just because penguins are birds doesn’t mean they’re typical birds, which typically can fly. I nicknamed this “semantic bounty” in a short post—if you spend 45 minutes convincing somebody something is X, e.g. X = discriminatory because X is probably gonna be something values-infused rather than feel like an arbitrary label, you’re more likely to win the argument that something is technically X and therefore doesn’t get a whole lot of properties of X, when you were hoping you get all the properties of X as a bounty for your opponent conceding the is-ness.
