That's totally missing the point.

We can both condemn the stupid/wrong behavior and celebrate the intellectual achievements. The point is that we shouldn't hold back our praise of the latter on account of the former.

This is a typical false-dichotomy that plagues contemporary discourse around social justice and various *isms.

Hardly an argument, though.

If we abided by your reasoning, the US wouldn't have a space program.

What's there to argue about? You think you're right and I think you're wrong.
