It would probably be best to make your point in your own voice and not to put words in Alicorn's mouth (however indirectly), since you know that she will not interact directly with you to correct any misapprehensions about her views you may have.

ETA: Whoops, I see RobinZ got there first.

Your point about Alicorn not being likely to correct Silas is no less apt than mine about not dragging neutral parties into an argument - in fact, it is scarcely less general.
