You're making assumptions about my implications and comparing two completely different things.
A well archived language can be reborn again - a dead species can't (yet).
Furthermore, where are you taking that I'm advocating forcefully spreading a language?
I'm stating a two very simple facts:
1. If you want a language to stay alive, you need speakers.
2. If you want a language to outlive speakers, you need to archive it well.
Since we live in a world of choice, you'll have to do something in order to let people choose to become a speaker of that language.
