    Where can I go with this premise?

    I have an idea for a story, but I don't know what to do with it. Basically these two brothers grow up their whole lives thinking they're identical twins.

    What is the word for when someone argues with a point by taking the premise

    to its most.......? ....ridiculous conclusion? There is a specific word for it..For example. If someone makes a complaint about levels of traffic on the roads, they might argue back that you wish to ban cars from the road for ever and make everyone ride a bicycle to work, when that is not in...
