Good argument.

The extra point is like an appendix. It is a remnant from a different historical period, when football was not the same game that we know today. It serves no purpose anymore. If the extra point did not already exist, there would not be single person arguing in its favor.

Presumably the people who want to keep it around are the types that a century ago would have been arguing against the legalization of the forward pass.
