What is the point of having an argument with a 14 year old who just about always has little to no knowledge of the subject in question?

Forums are generally a place for discussion. Yes, technically Zelaron was supposed to be a gaming forum but it has evolved far more into a general conversation forum. While I like pointless banter, I do occasionally enjoy an argument. Most of the members on a higher intellectual level seem to not participate in these as much anymore, so a lot of times he's the best I've got.
The only real point in arguing with anyone for me is because I find it entertaining. True, the higher the intellectual level the more entertaining the discussion is, but even Kyeruu will offer insightful comments on occasion, albeit articulated poorly. We could make a mathematical formula out of this.
E = IA, E representing the entertainment value someone provides for me in a discussion, I presenting the intellectual capacity of the person I'm having a discussion with where {I | I > 0} for any human being except D3V, and A representing the amount of argument he's willing to put up. While the A variable changes the dependent far slower for Kyeruu than it does for most, it does change the dependent. It's easily seen that when A = 0, E = 0, and as lim A->infinity, E also approaches infinity regardless of I (except in D3V's case). Most members now days don't feel like arguing, therefore there A = 0, and in debates that means E = 0. By that definition, I think Kyeruu is more than pulling his weight around here.
