But on the level of rhetoric or even logic, how can you conclude that something is beyond question after pushing aside its details?

That's like saying "Never mind what happened on April 14, 1912; the Titanic unquestionably ran aground."

If we know someone has been violent, why do we care about the details? I mean does it really matter if he threw his guitar at her or he kicked her instead? They are both violent acts which support the conlcusion that he was violent, which is sad.

And, though it is interesting to know why, the Titanic sank regardless of the details -- so the conclusion is still valid
