Not at all.
If lojbab couldn't be convinced by any means whatever, then collab
would be futile, but he can be -- by the consensus of opinions.
So the right thing to do with a lojbab posting is not to argue back,
but to (in Smullyan's phrase) "try to see in what sense he may be right".
There's often a lot of value in it.
