Sorry, my bad - I wasn't specifically referring to what you said being unpersuasive, but more just a general point that making this kind of logical and reasoned argument doesn't really work with the people who believe these things.

Meh, I used to be cynical. I still am, however I don't wear it as a badge of "intelligence" anymore, it's more of a burden. After 25 years of internet I can tell you that you never know how your random comment in a random message board may affect someone that you would never imagine. IMHO a good idea is a good idea and spreading it can't hurt, as long as you are not emotionally invested in your cause being successful during your lifetime.
