Webster: "rhetoric - 1. the art of speaking or writing effectively."

Unfortunately, "effective" writing does not imply accuracy, so I cannot
dispute the second statement above.  However, I would suggest that "many
Christian groups" are as much in the dark about Mormons as the poster of
the original article.  After all, you don't go to IBM or Xerox to get
answers to your questions about a VAX, but the right folks at Digital can 
tell you all you want to know.  You may not like the answers, but you get
it from the source, not from rumor or hearsay.
