It’s kind of an argument without an audience, if you ask me. Nobody who cares about being wrong in the first place believes the thing that Yvain’s elaborate allegory is supposed to refute.
Really it amounts to a long and self-indulgent way to say something simple: “the comfortable lie ultimately does more harm than good”.
Then again, 2000 words about how “religion is like nazism!” is certain to win a lot of fawning and back-patting from, well, the sort of people who you see posting comments here.
