it is hard to improve on your graphic, but may i suggest "pleonasm" along the line of the urethra to illustrate the process of ejaculating the illogical phallusy.

Great work.

We can rate phallacies on how many they score out of 20. I propose a sliding scale from possibly questionable to unquestionably improbable.

A certain popular theory about the environment scores about 12 out of 20....

Redutio ad absurdum isn't a phallusy. If you slide it out you just might be able to squeeze Tetenerre's petitio principii in.
