The longest way to cross the street

What is the unit of distance
in the vertical continuity of argument
that invokes Godwin’s Law?
And why is it so contagious to think
in propositions rather than absolutions?
(Lest you get the impression I’m longing
for sanbenitos and auto-da-fés.)

I have no answer,
except one more vulgar syllogism
following The Knickerbocker’s poultry.
