That would be a rational position, but it can't be accepted by the
folks who have a fairly irrational attitude about the subject. These
folks are of firm opinion that they know how things should be
done, and moreover, their way of doing things is the one, and *only*
one way of doing this.

In the absence of any rational arguments (like the case we
have at hand), the only thing these folks could use to justify
their dogmas is generic bashing and FUD.
