Contrarians should probably be held to a higher standard. It is indeed hard(er) to write a comment for a somewhat hostile audience; but if you can't actually make the audience think, at least for a few seconds, does the comment really add value? In fact, a weak argument against a beloved-but-false position may make people believe more strongly - bad comments don't help your cause!
