I never understood this fallacy of totally sidestepping the debate.

Michael's comment was, "monero is easier than lightning"
To which I agree. Why do people always say, "find out who I am or how much money I have!" As if that proves something. And then they inevitably say, "see! You didn't/couldn't do it, so lightning is fine, nothing to see here."
It's called a straw man. Super hand wavey
