Don’t you think the retort might be “well 13 sucks too”?
LN fixes this. If they won’t learn about that or other solutions that protect privacy or increase throughput they never sought the truth anyway.
TPS Counter: help debunk the "7 tps" myth
Some people like to spread the myth that bitcoin's blockchain can only process 7 transactions per second. example fud:

I made a little webpage to help debunk this myth whenever you see someone say this nonsense:
https://supertestnet.github.io/tps-counter/
For example, today the block with the highest TPS count (so far) is this one which had 7582 transactions in it, which means bitcoin processed about 13 tps (7582 divided by 10 minutes divided by 60 seconds = 7582 / 10 / 60 = 12.6 tps).
Discussion
that would be a perfectly acceptable retort and I would agree with it
the real number being low does not justify pretending it's even lower
