My argument is no more emotional or anecdotal than the one in the article. They didn't share any statistics about how chemistry kits resulted in smart kids or how accidents with the kits were so rare as to be worth ignoring. Their argument was one based purely on nostalgia and ideology. If you think their argument is reasoned, odds are it is because you have that same nostalgia or share that same ideology.
