Serious question for evolters:

I used to argue with people about stuff like this, but I started to wonder 
why I ought to bother. I design my sites to be functional for 3.0 browsers 
because I want to keep that audience. But why should I care if Chris, or 
anyone else, wants to lose that audience? Either he is right, and if that 
is so I ought to stop arguing about it, or he is wrong, and if so he is 
only cutting his own throat.

Am I missing something here?
