It runs completely contrary to the position he usually stakes out on the is / ought continuum. I feel it is a position of calculated necessity--he is choosing an extreme position for intended effect.

I similarly feel your frustration about arguing with Eben. But one thing you must remember is that a lot of the time it is just theater.
