Does this mean "resorting to ad hominem" can't be interesting, half-way intelligent or result in something substantial and of significance? Seems to me, some of the most interesting discussions I've had were ad hominem.

The challenge is to go way out on a limb, risk criticism and failure, but attempt something substantial, something of significance.
