Its valuable to read because when you run into one of your friends and he surprises you with some of these misinformed views its all the easier to clearly articulate why they are being idiots.

Also, even though it is very unlikely that the posters of the misinformation will change their minds, there are likely other people reading who haven't yet made up their minds, or have heard some of this misinformation and are thus confused/uncertain, and the information that is subsequently provided here in response may very well change
their minds.
