None more blameable

David Hume in Part III, Section II of A Treatise of Human Nature.

Regrettably, despite it being blameable, this seems still to be one of the primary rhetorical devices in civic discussion today. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
There is no method of reasoning more common, and yet none more blameable, than in philosophical debates to endeavour to refute any hypothesis by a pretext of its dangerous consequences to religion and morality.
