Really? That's it? To me, this sounds a lot like:
"sure, there is no water in the Namib either, but at least it's not the Sahara! Doesn't that count as an improvement? Oh and now I have a lot of thirsty people with me in the Namib, when I would have to drink water with so much fewer people outside of deserts."
Sorry, but I can't make heads nor tail of this. My interest to go over there and interact with people whose minds operate like this is quite low.
