    This argument requires you to presume that a certain position is already right, and then commands you to conform to that position. It isn’t an argument, it’s an imposition.

      Putting the lid down is right.

      I don’t care whether YOU conform to it, in the same way I don’t care if YOU return shopping carts, or if YOU tip your waitstaff. I don’t have the energy to enforce that everyone do everything right. But someone in your life wishes you would.
