Thanks for sharing that Daniel. I think that the problem that the XKCD author is highlighting is the problem of people who, often in an effort to feel better about themselves, denigrate completely rational choices that other people have a right to make for themselves. Often, such people are unwilling (or unable) to consider any other side than the one that they have chosen to subscribe to. The photographer in the comic first draws attention to a completely rational point of view which is the opposite of the denigrator's, and then (in addition) emphasizes the inappropriateness (dare we say "stupidity" or "futility"?) of wasting brain cycles on the value judgments made by others, particularly when they have minimal to nonexistent impact on anyone else.
