All of your points are true, and would be brought up by an informed adult or smart kid, but notice how none of them defeat the underlying deductive argument. Simplicity is its strength. If anything, letting them make it complicated by questioning assumptions and revising them will just convince them more, because now it’s sort of their argument, not somebody else’s.

1) It’s not just in our lungs, but in our entire “breathing system”. Still need to control the breath.

2) Masks don’t block oxygen, but they block the wet part of the breath at least somewhat. The wet part is the dangerous part.

You could go back and forth with a so-called “anti-masker” and you’d prob be leagues ahead of where you’d be if you shared a masks article.
