i hate to tell you but one of the discussion rules of thumb is, if you have to try to use "the real world" to denigrate the people you are arguing against, then odds are fair to good that you're the one standing on the outside.

It's sort of like admonishing others to 'wake up!" in that it carries the notion that you are specially aware and informed and all others not you are cretins in need of your guidance.
