The law is sometimes invoked, as a rule, to mark the end of a discussion when a Nazi analogy is made, with the writer who made the analogy being considered to have lost the argument.

 

I take issue with this use of it by some people, because sometimes the Nazis or Hitler are a valid point of comparison.  Yes, there are many more time when it's inappropriate, but just because they came up doesn't mean there wasn't a good reason.

Yeah, it's not a "first person to invoke a nazism comparison loses" rule it's stating that the longer a discussion continues the more likely it is that nazism will be raised. It's no different to saying "the likelihood that someone will say "um" increases the longer a conversation continues."
