"You can't actually disagree with me. If you don't agree with me you just haven't thought it through/you don't know enough/you have bad motives." (Yeah, we need a better term for that.)

It's a cheap, lazy rhetorical move, designed to make the speaker feel better about holding their position without having to do the hard work of actually defending it.
