That seems to be the line of argument that people like to use these
days every time they're out to suppress something (userboxes, "attack
site" links, Esperanza, BJAODN, etc.), and can't come up with a good
substantive argument about why it needs to be eliminated regardless
of what anybody else thinks about it. Framing the argument in terms
favorable to your side is a major step towards winning it; those in
favor of eliminating something would generally prefer it to be argued
in terms of "Is there any purpose in having it?", while the other
side would be better with "Is there any purpose in suppressing it?"
