True, but whether or not something is a joke and whether or not it is rhetorically misleading are orthogonal characteristics.
I don't think it's misleading. I read the OP comment as a humorous warning that we should be cautious around arguments which very probably came out of wish to defend beloved PL. These opinions often bring interesting thoughts, but more often then not they are built as "I need to proof X, therefore I select facts for it"
Thank you. The Gamma radiation was starting to glow.
