So this argument is a little ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous at all.
Benching him for an unproven guy (no matter how confident you are about his talent and practices) was a huge risk. But Harbaugh made the decision that Smith simply wasn't good enough.
Of course, he was benched three other times, as well.
