I do not refute this, I simply try to play devil's advocate. In fact, I'm inclined to agree with you. I don't watch a lot of television because I enjoy being engaged in what I'm doing, but there are people out there who watch a lot of television and removing commercials could be a good thing for such people.
OP then goes on to not even attempt to refute this. I'd rather watch television die completely and work on something more fun and useful.
