I don't think that they are "defenses" of polygamy as much as attempts to make people think through their often kneejerk reactions to these concepts. We often seen this response on SI where a person sincerely questioning a POV gets a derogatory oneliner rather than a thoughtful explanation. Without thoughtful explanations, you are left with a pretty weak defense, regardless of how right you may believe you are.

At least Rauch offers some reasonable negatives that while they may not convince, at least force the other side to go further in its thinking. And THAT is how we communicate reasonably!
