Blind faith, inability to see the point beyond the point.

I originally wrote that "most wars are started by people who are very secure in their beliefs", but that's a boring point and someone would likely start psychoanalyses of war starters to prove that it was not "most people", then we would discuss back and forth about whether most means >50% or >90% and also what being secure in your beliefs means.
And since I prefer to have fun, I replaced it with what you call a Godwin because now we don't have to argue about it a lot as it allows you to easily discard my point without thinking about what I might mean.
I can then reply with the above snippet of a reply that still doesn't make my point much clearer and will lead to a similar reply from you.
This makes the entire discussion easier and faster for both of us.
