Indeed not, and this is one of the reasons why Gish Gallop doesn't
work so well in forums like this.  But that, while true, is a
misleading argument in this specific case.

A more relevant reason is that we can also simply point to if and
where your chain of logic stopped responding to the point in question,
which is more difficult to do in spoken debates.
