using that logic

In an argument, it is exploiting someone's logic trail and using the exact same logic trail against them, often modified to use counterpart objects of comparison and/or contrast.
In regular conversations, it is often used as call to action.
Argumentative:
Man 1: One of the ideas explored sometimes was to take useful items and somehow corrupt them and make them unusable/impractical and pass it off as art. Anyways, this guy is about 100 years too late with this.
Man 2: Using that logic, we should all stop making art at all because we're all 41,000 years too late with it.

She explains that it’s okay to call white people “crackers” because it’s a term slaves used to describe whites. So using that logic, she shouldn’t be offended if a racist white person calls her the “n” word. After all, that’s how the white slave owners referred to the slaves.

Conversational:

Moon Logic

Moon Logic. When things don't make any sense, or rather, when you are bamboozled by a seemingly illogical jump that others are irrationally capable of making. Used mainly in trying to understand the perspective of women.
Having a conversation with girls requires a lot of moon logic.

2. Black and white/either-or/false dilemma
3. Hasty generalizations
4. Argument from ignorance (we don't know X, therefore X is wrong)
5. Being overdramatic (slippery slope and/or strawman)
6. Red Herring
