I think it's interesting, if left to their own devices, their argument would play out in a thread which, to a certain extent, concerns incompatible methods of proof. It might be interesting if they kept arguing and we just critiqued them, if that's what you're suggesting; I imagine they might become a bit self conscious, though.
