That’s the most idiotic argument I’ve seen on Lemmy. Congratulations.
Let me continue with that logic:
“If a kid wants to use a computer to research something instead of checking out an encyclopedia from the library should the parents let them?”
“If a kid wants to use a pen to write stuff down instead of learning to remember, should the parents let them?”
“If a kid wants to cook their food instead of using their appendix, should the parents let them?”

Reduction to absurdity fallacy.
Basically, you can’t actually refute the point, so you carry it to a ridiculous extreme without giving it serious consideration.
And since people here use it all the time, I can’t even give you points for originality.
