Paul Wright and MBlume are right. I used that as an example of a bad argument that people should not be making. The thesis of the first half of my article is the same as the last paragraph of your comment, and I agree with you 100% on it.
The thesis of the second half of my article, in contrast, is that you need to beware, lest opponents interpret your position as an invitation to recite their favorite debating points rather than actually listen to what you are saying.
I congratulate you on your understanding of the first half, but you might want to read the second half over again :)
