I might be entitled to a benefit, maybe. So you better give me that benefit just in case.
Apply that same reasoning to other situations.
Give the elderly disability benefit, they may be entitled, maybe not. Do it just in case.
Or to another area: you may not need antibiotics, but just have them in case you miss out on them.
Sure, you catch everyone but it costs a lot of money.
To take this to an absurd conclusion: I a 29 year old, may be entitled to a pension. I haven’t checked, or applied, but give it to me anyway, just incase I am entitled.
How is that a counter argument?
“Sure you have a point, but I’m not going to listen to it because I don’t want to”
