I suppose that is an easier argument to make. But it's just...not very useful. To either side, really. I mean, if someone is going to respond to a certain set of arguments whether I actually make them or not, then there's no real need for me to be in that conversation in the first place, is there? They could have that "conversation" with an empty room just as easily.

I know, I know. Preaching to the choir. But still! :p
