I really wasn't trying to argue for this theory, and it may be totally ineffective. It's your area of expertise and I trust you on that. But I would still insist there is a rationale, even if it's not a good one, which is frequently espoused by leaders representing groups that care about this issue.

If a theory is ludicrous, it’s not rational, by extension of the definition: rational - based on or in accordance with reason or logic. Therefore, it’s irrational.
