Can be argued either way - to the unfamiliar, an argument can be factually wrong, but still be convicing and sound good. If left unchecked, it can be presumed indefensible, therefore valid.
As an aside and not to influence either way, but I find SGE's posts cogent, informative and responsible.
I have alot of respect for his, along with others viewpoints.
