Although that is true, I think people who believe in freeplegrunge also believe that freeplegrunge implies immortality; indeed, that's the reason they believe in freeplegrunge, although they rarely admit it. So your statement misses the mark a bit; it's not the lack of freeplegrunge people object to, it's the lack of immortality. And that is not only depressing, it really is a property of particles as opposed to freeplegrunge; at least this is true in the minds of freeplegrungists, because of the very strong coupling between their freeplegrunge-belief and their immortality-belief.
