Hm... last I checked, hyperbole is commonly used in an argumentative standpoint.

As I said:

Hyperbole as a stylistic device is fine.

The problem is that your hyperbole is standing on its own. There is no argument that this hyperbole could be supporting. It only supports itself, meaning it is a cheap replacement for an actual argument. Hence why it's lazy.

I'm going off of what I see

And yet, by using hyperbole instead of trying to actually explain what it is you see, you are actively preventing people from understanding what it is that you see. You are making it impossible for people to see things from your point of view. Hence why it's counterproductive even for you specifically.

The worst bit, though, is that it's simply a statement that by itself is impossible to refute. But not because it's so logical and sound, but because a hyperbole like that can be considered in only two ways:

• You can consider the actual point that has been exaggerated… which could be virtually any position less extreme than the one stated, making it too vague to address.
• You can take it literally, which is a very precise statement and easy enough to attack… but sets that person up for the "You just don't understand hyperbole" response.

Overall there can be no sensible discussion on a hyperbole the way you used it. The best way to address an "argument" like this is simply not to address it at all. A hyperbole like that is effectively nothing but a discussion killer. Hence why it's counterproductive for discussions in general.

Short version: Using only hyperbole makes it everybody else's responsibility to identify what your actual position is. Just that nobody will actually ever do that.
