Under the current conditions, a set goalie rotation actually makes perfect sense to me.

I can even buy an argument like "it's an odd decision, but it's one game let's not worry to much about it." But the "you guys are a bunch of dummies for thinking this is an odd decision. Let me explain to you (in a very irrational way) why it's not an odd decision" arguments are silly.

Why do you consider the counter explanations "irrational"?
When I am using this word in this discussion, it is with regards to the level of angst the choice to start Hiller has caused, and also as far as the arguments forwarded so far are really meaningless until we have seen the balance of starts for all of Hiller, Ortio, and Backstrom at the end of the season. If Ortio is stapled to the bench from here on out, I would agree with you. But I have no good reason to think that will happen, nor do I think it especially rational to complain about the possibility until it has happened.
