curi, please reread what I wrote. Please note that the whole sentence is not as you quoted "It isn't helpful to pick out a small problem with an argument" but "It isn't helpful to pick out a small problem with an argument someone makes and then ignore the rest of the argument until they've responded to doing so." Please also reread the first paragraph where I outlined the ideal approach, noting the issue, and supplying a correction yourself, and then replying to the corrected form.
