I think it's necessary to respect all points of view and defeat them with traditional means. By all means, consider it absurd. Don't put mocking words in their mouths as parfe has done, nor categorize them unfairly; let them speak for themselves, and defeat the argument when it's presented. That's how discourse works. I am rapidly tiring of efforts to the contrary, especially among people here and in the industry.
