No it’s a red herring (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring)

It’s a fundamentally flawed argument

What a weird stance. You agree to mislead or distract from a relevant or important question?

  • Attempt generosity. Can you think of another way to interpret the comment above yours? Is it more likely they are calling their own argument a red herring, or the one they are responding to?

    If something looks like a "weird stance", consider trying harder to understand it. It's better for everyone else in the conversation.
