Some people think the way to respond to fanatical zealotry and dogma is with fanatical zealotry and dogma they like.
The problem is usually with zealotry and dogma itself, though. If you approach the problem from the angle of, "Ok, let's try to figure out where TechniqueX is a good fit and where it's a poor fit," it gets rid of most of the arguing. It also tends to highlight the people who persist in arguing that TechniqueX will solve all problems for all people, all the time.
It doesn't drive blog traffic as well, though. (The middle path usually avoids all that drama...)
