Is there any chance -- any chance at all -- that we cannot do the same dance of ineptly-phrased-objection followed by rebuttal-that-misses-the-point when it comes to this particular facet of the discussion?

Both sides of this are wrong. The people complaining about "monolithic" are groping in the dark for ideas such as low coupling. The people saying "but count the binaries!" are not addressing the questions of fully documented interfaces between said binaries, composability, and interoperability.

The "uselessd guy" explained this quite well, as have many other people. Can you please advance to not dancing this same old dance every time?
