Hah, I was about to make the same comment. In this case _boot_ is a hypernym with _sabaton_ as hyponym. Both also have the hypernym _footwear._ Ben's only defense would have been arguing that sabatons are footwear but _not_ boots, which is a very dubious claim at best. My expert opinion is that Ben lost. This comment brought to you by the linguistics gang. Subscribe for more linguisticalistic overanalysis.
y'know what... i'm not sure if i'm down with messing up the background to enlarge Tom and Ben - especially when they're referencing stuff on screen. which you've managed, lovely job. I love how ben is trying to argue that space marines don't wear boots while tom has on screen every reference to space marine foot coverings as "boots". If everyone calls em boots ben, they're boots! that's language! (...still think embiggening the boys is unnecessary. xo)
Well this all but confirms Tom and Ben are watching these clips too.
They are in the pile with us 👀
id argue every sabaton is a boot but not every boot is a sabaton
No, if anything sabaton are shoes but not boots.

@ze_rubenator It's definitely a shoe, a boot and footwear
what are you talking aboot?
At least one Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band.
tom beating ben through boots when hes on a 40mm lol
i would argue that Marneus Calgar is a metal name as well
that wasnt meant as a "metal" sounding name@@Chyrnobyl66
Tom has said the fact he challenged over boots and not the base means it doesn't matter.
And has guns
Aww I'd completely forgotten about No More Elves, nice!
I hope tom always starts with: No more elves rule
Welcome to the pile!

Would Ben not have lost based on his "no metal names" rule as well?
Only matters if it gets called out.
Matt Tim and Alex are so based

While watching this, Will Ferrals movie Elf is on cable. You guys missed 1 really annoying elf

Do people actually want that zoom in? IMO it's unpleasant.
I like it, puts the focus where it should be.
It's much more watchable on phone screens, which is how I catch up on Tom and Ben clips during work!
