First off, the argument itself detracts from whatever point elfwreck is trying to make. And by the way, I'm still not clear on the point, because the entire argument is poorly written and makes a nonsensical comparison.
Secondly, having elfwreck state in a comment here that it was a deliberate exaggeration...words fail. It's a poorly constructed argument at best.
Thirdly, you're absolutely right that it's not at all a persuasive argument for people who are even a little bit inclined to support the OTW, but have their doubts. It's a clear-cut case of preaching to the choir.
So, yeah, all in all: as a persuasive argument — hell, as a coherent argument — it fails.
