You're missing the point that reader objections you can find a way to dismiss as irrational are still reader objections. HP:MOR is explicitly intended as propaganda; so irrational reader objections are particularly important.
I'm not dismissing the objection. It's a perfectly sensible objection. I am dismissing the statement I pointed out and only that statement. Perhaps I should have made that clearer.
