reductio ad absurdum

The way in part to overcome it, is by ensuring any memorandum of facts includes a severance clause to counter the attempt to use reductio ad absurdum.  The severance clause merely states that if any part of an argument is rendered deficient, or in error then the remainder still stands.  However, you can’t put a severance clause effectively in an affidavit and this does not excuse willful stupidity. More paper does not equal more chance of success.
