I'd say those who give credence to obviously false claims of forgery by 'laundering' them into philosophical principles also unwittingly commit the same violation of prolonging the confusion and controversy. The claim is obviously false and the forgeries obviously don't exist. To remove the issue from the direct abstract evidence and arguments into philosophical concepts is to create a venue in which the proponents will be led to believe their claims have some merit. If people were paying attention the doorway forgery claims were completely destroyed in the direct arguments against them using scientific and factual argument. So while some may perhaps correctly argue that the actual argument for any forgeries, like those claimed by doorway theorists, violates the deep political principle of prolonging the debate, in my opinion the shortest route is dismissing the doorway claim completely because it has already proven to be false. No offense intended, but those who didn't participate in the actual abstract material arguments of why the claim is false tend to be the same people who show up later with sophist approaches that make the terrible mistake of permitting the possibility the doorway claim is valid. It isn't and it shouldn't be given any chance for validity no matter how honorably-intended or indirect. I'm sorry but the doorway proponents can't be saved from this.
Too many worthy men have been defeated Jan's 'sword' of truth to defile it on Cinque. I'd say a dirty sock and gag is more appropriate for him.
