Perhaps the idea is to find ways to articulate things that don’t lead to such obvious cheap points being scorable.

“Zero trucks on our roads!” <—- stupid idea that enables the cheap point

“But zero is a stupid number to aim for” <—- cheap point

“Well obviously not zero

Then don’t say zero! Use your words precisely, as if you had some responsibility for what’s going on. Be more like an engineer, and less like a kid, with your speech.
