Making this sort of reductio ad absurdum doesn't make you seem witty or clever. It just makes you seem pedantic and unable to reason about things like a functioning adult.

The idea of age-gating hands is to demonstrate that overly broad age gating IS ridiculous and the lack of sufficient targetting by Texas is precisely why the judge is throwing it out.

Do I really need to waste my time explaining why age-gating hands is not feasible, realistic, or even worth considering?

You should look up the word "analogy".

I thought it was witty and clever.
