Rather like in a court case where each side does their best to put forward a convincing argument that supports their stand, the purpose of which is that everyone else gets to see ALL the points put forward and make a decision themselves as to what the verdict is. If we only had one side saying that something is definitely a certain way (and even if that side is correct) then we're just not getting the whole picture, which is the point of having arguments by both sides.
So I'm all for just putting forward views even if they clash and even if some of them verge on the irrational - we're all intelligent enough, I'm sure, to filter out the crap arguments ourselves and take the good points and form our own views and conclusions in the end (even if a post happens to be largely irrational and from an unusually biased party, it doesn't mean there aren't real facts to be considered there).
Speaking of Naruto and the Kyuubi, I agree that while eventually Naruto will probably embark on training to further his Kyuubi control and perhaps even somehow regain the other half of the Kyuubi's chakra, I don't think that it's the only course of action Naruto can take now. It does seem like it's a natural progression because I can't think of many other techniques or things that Naruto would seem to learn (other than learning a one-handed Rasengan) but you never know; I'm sure many of us thought even way way back in the series that he would learn some more control, perhaps after the Gaara plot where he first picked up some control over the chakra. As for myself I would like to see Naruto maximising the potential of the Kyuubi chakra, although I'd actually prefer he tidy up his jutsus in general first (learning a proper Rasengan and having at least a few generic wind jutsus he can rely on instead of spamming Rasenshuriken all the time, just to name a few). It's not to say that Naruto can't do without more jutsus, because I do believe one of Naruto's defining characteristics is how he always makes do and creatively uses his Kagebunshins in ways that no one ever does. Having one technique that you can use extremely well and in a multitude of ways is better than having multitudes of techniques that you can't use with such ingenuity. Still, it would make for some nice variety to see him using some new techniques too - though if he ever learns genjutsu that'll be the day.
