That is, indeed, one relevant question on which the debate turns.
Unfortunately, most of the arguments on all sides of that question are
less than compelling. I'm hoping that eventually someone -- possibly
someone on this very list, in some iteration of this very debate --
will come up with a better argument than any I've seen (and I don't
particularly care which side the argument is on, as long as it's a
good one).
