I disagree. Sometimes there is no disagreement, someone is just plain
wrong. Catherine has been given the use cases that disprove her thesis,
and has been contradicting herself.
Continuing to be nice in some misguided attempt at false balance *does*
*not* *help*. If someone is wrong, they should be told; if they insist
on not wanting to be educated, at a certain point you must simply wash
your hands of them. It's not nice, but it *is* constructive.
