Perhaps. But the point needed to be made.
You would be surprised at the number of people who don't understand that proving magic to be nonexistent establishes that unicorns aren't real, and so on.
(EDIT: To explain the above example, because it might appear nonsensical - unicorns are one-horned white horses with magic powers. I once got involved in a lengthy and pointless runaround with a poster on another forum - an atheist, in fact - who simply could not grasp the point that, if magic isn't real, unicorns are also not real, because unicorns have magic powers.)
