I don't think this is an actual "belief," but rather just grasping at straws in order to justify a call in his favor. So reasoning is kinda pointless.

I don't see this level much, but when I encounter something goofy like this I won't try reasoning by analogy, I'll just say, "that's not the rule, coach. Let's play ball."
