This is typical "Us - Them" situation. The only science involved in this type of argument is psychology and I think they are far better in this business than any of us are.

The only way to beat this is careful, systematic, detailed argument, supported with evidence.
Sometimes even this won't work with some people, but we should NEVER give up.
I look forward to your interjections in such future situations, bojan. .. experience the force, Luke !

A big part of me whole-heartedly agrees with you about this .. my only points are: (i) the priorities in the overall scheme of things and; (ii) demoralising backlashes from bunches of lurkers who only choose to deconstructively 'contribute' when the going gets tough, and without due consideration of the bigger issues at stake.
