If their inclination is to ignore people who know more than they do about a topic, then they are more or less hopeless. I don't think that people should be shy about discussing what is actually the case with languages, just because some people won't react in a reasonable way to the suggestion that some languages are more advanced than others.

It's not a stance that invites discussion. You can encourage discussion about language design, etc. without being smug and intentionally provocative about it.
