“To introduce into philosophical discussions a sneer at a creed’s antiquity is like introducing a sneer at a lady’s age. It is caddish because it is irrelevant.” -G. K. Chesterton
[I've seen similar dismissals of arguments, or points of view for irrelevant reasons before, and I don't understand them. Somehow, the person thinks they have addressed the substance while merely faffing about with trivialities.]
