This viewpoint is common, but it's easy to counter. Holding people captive
on your site will annoy them, which is not good for marketing or business.

I usually point out that if they want to get back to your site, they already
have a variety of options available: they can choose to open a link in a new
window/tab, bookmark your site before clicking, or trudge back through
history to find you.
