Because people are stupid and they'll accept the faulty premise the reply is based on uncritically, especially if it's a hivemind hotspot. In my second example, someone quoted an Arab-American politician. I quoted another Arab-American politician on the same topic. The person correcting me assumed I can't tell Arab-Americans apart and got them confused. By not replying, I'm leaving open that possibility in the minds of readers.
