This comment causes me unpleasant cognitive dissonance. I read the second party's statement as meaning something like "no, logical rigor is out of place in this subject, and that's how it should be." And I find that attitude, if not offensive, at least incredibly irritating and wrongheaded.

And yet I recognize that your argument has merit and I may need to update. I state this not so much because I have something useful to say for or against it, but to force it out of my head so I can't pretend the conflict isn't there.
