Tough to reason with someone who thinks they understand the tech but actually does not. When I have explained that I go direct and people have not understood why I don't mic up I explain that the speaker is just a flat full range monitor.
If they still don't understand I explain that the sound of the mic (and mic preamp) is already baked into the output tone. Doesn't make sense to "re-mic" a mic'd cab tone does it? Usually people get it at that point.
