Yes, the Catalyst is a biased source whose reasoning you don't have to accept. But as I said, while you can reject it implicitly you can't reject it explicitly. There is no real option to turn and tell it "I think your argument is ridiculous and I'm making a choice for reasons that have nothing to do with it". The fact that you can't reject that framework strongly suggests that it's meant to be a genuine theme.
