You would agree that the conclusion that one should not hit the dog with a golf club is correct but the reasoning behind it is not good.
That rather depends on how one feels about dogs, doesn't it? Your species bias is showing . . . ;-p
You can't assume everyone shares your values - and while I get that you were largely talking logic, in the kinds of debates we get into here there are a lot of conclusions that are only seen as "valid" if people share the same values with the same priorities to start with. Often people don't have issues with the logic, but the premises.
[I think this is what Sonious was getting at, but if not perhaps he can clarify.]
