No, Manoj, it's you who missed the context here.

He said "...when there are no problems."

You said "That will never happen, therefore we should stop trying".

He said "That doesn't follow".

IOW, your statement had the form of a logical implication, and he
questioned (quite rightly) whether that relation between the logical
parts actually took place.

There'll always be wars and war crimes, does that mean we should stop
trying to put in place laws forbidding them?
