Ok, maybe it's not the topic itself, but the way it is discussed.
Frankly, I'm not used to someone delurking and starting vague
discussions, avoiding anything concrete, and basically countering
arguments with 'you are wrong, and if you read X you will see the
light'. 

So, instead of labelling jan's behaviour off-topic, I'll probably label
it counter-productive. Because he *might* have a point, but AFAIC he
does a lousy job of delivering it.
