This argument seems strange to me because I've known many, many people who love both stringent intellectual debate and fantasy-dress-up-make-belive. They seem to be correlated rather than anticorrelated, in fact.
How would you dress up to a GEB meeting?
Take my word for it; you do not want to read any of the GEB slash/fic out there.
Yes, but it's compartmentalized to some degree. An intellectual work and a fantasy work may appeal to the same person, but one appeals to the person while wearing an intellectual hat and the other doesn't, and the first kind of appeal is the wrong kind of appeal to result in fanaticism.
