If yes, at what point should Godwin's law not be invoked even though its conditions have been met?

You provide the answer in your own question. With a simple rewrite, the answer presents itself: Godwin's law should not be invoked when its conditions have been met. :)

Regardless, I invoke Godwin's law.

Goodbye, thread!
