This was brought up in the recent William Craig—Rosenberg debate (don’t waste your time), the Sorites “paradox” answer to the Problem of Evil. Rosenberg called it the type of argument that gives philosophy a bad name, and acted too embarrassed by its stupidity to even state it. (Edit: changed the link)
I stopped watching Craig’s debates after Kagan smoked him so thoroughly that even the steelmanned versions of his arguments sounded embarrassing. The Bradley and Parsons debates are also definitely worth listening to, if only because it’s enjoyable (and I must admit, it was quite comforting at the time) to hear Craig get demolished.

Man, Rosenberg looked lost in that debate...
(This one versus Peter Atkins is much better; just watch the Atkins parts, Craig recites the same spiel as always.
Atkins doesn’t sugar-coat his arguments, but then again, that’s to be expected … …)
