This type of comment comes up frequently after I use specific examples to illustrate a point. When I use an example it is just that, one example. Normally when I give one example, there are hundreds of others that could follow-also illustrating or supporting a point. Often, "we" (when questioned or challenged I will almost always respond) get derailed in the example rather than the primary point. I often interpret this as a mechanism used when there is no reasoned response to the primary point. Then the narrative becomes Ace derailed the thread. I think this is an irrational response to a fear of a strongly held belief being challenged. I also believe it serves as yet another example of the points I have made here.
