It's true it isn't high-effort. That said, referencing xkcd (if not done solely for the humor) can be a nice way of succinctly presenting an idea that you would have made a mess of explaining yourself.

I agree with you. It takes nearly no effort to digest, and xkcd has a strong selection of 'debate-memes' to choose from on making intelligent points.
I know and I sympathize. It's just that xkcd is so condescending sometimes and I wanted a good way to let that know.
