Let's not get distracted by an extraneous provocation. As you can imagine, this has come up frequently when people run into that bit, and tends to lead to the same discussion over and over (and ultimately, religious flamewar).

There's a new site guideline about this actually:

"Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article and rush to the thread to complain about it. Find something interesting to comment about instead."

So you agree it's a provocative thing. Good, that's all I meant to convey.

Yes, but we're specifically asking you not to convey it, for the same reason that one doesn't convey lit matches to dry forests.
