I am sorry I am playing devil's advocate again, but this is called a
naturalistic fallacy. Just because something is (natural) doesn't mean it
ought to be that way. So this argument may work often, but don't try this
on anyone asking for a reason why something that seems natural ought to be
that way.

Please don't take my comments personally. I know things in writing can
look a lot more rude than they are meant to be.
