Your argument is a lot like this:
DJ: Cancer kills.
Parent: I had skin cancer once, it was removed and now I'm well.
DJ: All the studies say that cancer kills, you are wrong.
Parent: But the Dr. says I'm fine, I just have to watch my sun exposure.
DJ: Your Dr. is a quack. If he were a real Dr. he would tell you that cancer kills you ignoramous."
Actually, it's more like this:
Programmie: You have skin cancer!!
Sane person: It's a mole.
Programmie: No! I have a diploma I got online and so I KNOW ABOUT THIS! It's SKIN CANCER!
Sane person: I've had this mole for ten years. It's just a mole.
Programmie: You're not a professional like me, you don't know anything! Here, pour this lye on your skin. That will cure it! Only fifty thousand dollars!
Sane person: Um, I'm not paying you fifty thousand dollars, and I'm sure as shit not pouring lye on my skin. That will burn it off. Idiot.
Programmie: The pain is just the skin cancer using MANIPULATION! It's important that you get this treated right now! We have a whole lot of different brands of lye- hey, what's that in your hand?
BLAM!Sane person: Someone call the garbageman.
