So just dismissing it isn't productive. Two people that we are aware of. BTW, I often encounter this when talking to other techies. People go to the most ridiculous extremes to be contrarian. Often they don't even know they are doing. I know because I used to engage in this behaviour. So I feel like I am well withing my rights to dismiss it.

I didn't say you weren't within your rights. I said it's counter-productive for the discussion.

I think it is counter productive to bring up ridiculous examples, which was obviously not what I meant.

Both things can be counterproductive simultaneously.
