There is a logical fallacy referred to as the “red herring”; you do not fool me, or anyone, by using it.

The side points you make are irrelevant to the point at hand; rather than hand waving address the point at hand:

Why is this an excuse to do nothing?

If not, what action do you propose instead?

How do you justify it?

Be specific.
