In debate you run into this all the time. Often an argument will have both a faulty inference and an untenable premise. It's not always wise to point out both. It's usually better to pick one. In this case I would point out the difference between a general purpose computer and an embedded system and omit the argument that Dave doesn't understand computers -- any computer.
