Well, when your shorthand uses their stock ticker symbol, your argument has already been coopted.

I get the joke but um, I used it on purpose and which one of my arguments been "coopted" ??
Coopting is not like rebutting; it does not bite chunks out of specific pieces, it swallows whole. Symbols are powerful things, perhaps even more so outside the mathematical logic of argument. They do not serve only your purposes, even if you use them purposefully. My observations may be wry, but they are not entirely in jest.
