This is how I see it. You have two sides shouting at each other that the other side is wrong. The argument is so loud and outrageous that no one can here each other over their own voices. Each side is openly praising the information that they receive that confirms their argument while entirely ignoring any information that disagrees with their view.

One could compare it to two people standing on opposite sides of a concrete wall, each trying to destroy it with a small hammer (keep in mind this wall serves absolutely no purpose). No matter how hard either of them hit the wall, the hammer just bounces off. The most each can do is hope to take a nice chunk of rock out of the wall. In the mean time, they are getting all hot and sweaty from whacking away at the wall all day.

In the end, everyone stops caring about the wall...and no one really knows why it was such a big deal.

With that said, chip away. No one cares.
