reductio ad absurdum - noun - a reduction to an absurdity; the refutation of a proposition by demonstrating the inevitably absurd conclusion to which it would logically lead
At some level, this word (phrase) seems appropriate given the post to the youtube video about the answer why most Americans can't find their own country on a map. However, this word was inspired by this item on: reddit. If you read the article referred to by the comment, make sure not to miss the point of the article - which isn't to call Java programmers stupid.
