Having It Both Ways

Baylor mistakenly dumps data on law school admissions giving an inside look at affirmative action policies. This blogger writes a passionate plea suggesting that affirmative action is no big deal - that it boils down to a mere 4 LSAT points - and therefore the opponents of it are stupid.

But that seems to be a strange conclusion. You can't on the one hand argue affirmative action is no big deal and then also argue it should be kept. If it's no big deal, it seems to me an argument for getting rid of it altogether, just so no can use it as an excuse one way or the other - pro or against.
