I think Paul is saying “Eliezer is using an equivocation between a correct point and a false point for rhetorical effect”. I don’t think that is doing the same (I think it’s failing to give credit for the correct point). I do agree it’s doing some of what I was trying to point to here, but not following good form in the way I was trying to describe.
I think Joe is on a vibes-based level doing also a more direct equivocation, I think, but again, it’s been a while since I read it and I am not that confident.
