No

The judge will realize that a hyperbolic hypothetical situation is a last ditch attempt to prove the validity of a point.

The opposition should be able to simply point out that the imagined situation is unlikely to ever occur, and therefore any conclusions drawn from it are unsupported.

E.g. The debate is that donuts are better than crackers
>Well, donuts are better than crackers because they are round, so if you made a giant donut you could race nascars around it, and then use it to solve the world's hunger crisis after the race is over.

obviously ridiculous, amirite? the claim that donuts are better than crackers because they are round remains unsupported because the scenario used to prove the claim was totally out to lunch.

as a sidenote, hypothetical situations are pretty low on the scale of strength of argument. source = collegiate debate team

Well, has Plato's cave ever been empirically tested?

Yes. I don't even understand how this is a question.

I do remember arguing with people and using thorough reasoning and being told that a universal notion couldn't be grasped or moved towards just due to my interlocutors incredulity. Come to think of it most of the time these people would be women.
