That may be, but if your position is “I’m trying not to talk to the orthodox” then the intelligent orthodox are totally justified in saying “I have no reason to respect the quality of your ideas if you refuse to communicate them to me.”
The goal isn’t to convince the orthodox to change his position, it’s merely to show that the orthodox opinion isn’t unanimous.
