Don't waste your time arguing Chomsky supporters, it's a cult. They keep wringing non-falsifiable theories out of lengthy hallucinations, but it all reveals itself to be just Trek physics later on.
He's not just problematic in politics, he is in linguistics too, just the BS is harder to notice. I suppose his compiler theories were legit, and his pioneering spirit that lead to establishment of multiple fields of researches might be too, but leading theories he'd created are just as dubious as the first man made shed built on a discovered island would be.
And the problem is not just that early speculations in a novel field are often wrong, it's that his supporters don't care. They'd regurgitate those scientific theories(tm) ad infinitum and waste resources for the whole humanity. So don't bother trying to fix them and making them motivated.
