No, of course not. It's just that recent events have provided such glaring examples of the utter stupidity of arguments of the form "we must do _something_, even though it won't help, and will probably do harm" that these examples immediately come to my mind whenever I see the phenomenon happening. To me these examples are so obvious that I have a hard time thinking of other examples of this phenomenon to cite. Such arguments are quite common. Thankfully most of the real-world examples of this kind of reasoning do not result in thousands of deaths. Let me attempt a different illustration, this time using an ancient folk tale that may be familiar to some, and which doesn't involve any violence (and which like any good folk tale, is told differently each time): A visitor to Nasrudin's home finds him diligently searching his yard. "What are you looking for?" he said. "My car keys." "Where were you when you last had them?" "Inside my house." "Why aren't you looking for them there?" "Well, the light is better out here. And I had to do _something_ to find them."
