In order to answer this question, we first have to understand what "reductio ad absurdum" is. Reductio ad absurdum is a type of argument that seeks to make a point by using absurdity. Basically, it is an absurd or ridiculous argument.

While this story is a little absurd (cutting a small piece of hair is not nice, but should not lead to war), it is not making the argument for or against anything.
A Modest Proposal is an essay which argues for a solution to poverty in Ireland. Poverty at the time was widespread and many were starving. The author had a unique solution: eating children! The author outlined many advantages to his idea. Of course he wasn't being serious -- he didn't really want anyone to sell their children and he certainly didn't want to eat them -- but by making such a ridiculous argument he was shining light on the problem and other solutions that are much more reasonable. As a result, A Modest Proposal is an example of reductio ad absurdum because it uses absurdity to make an argument.
