There are reasons why theses things tend not to die a natural death that have to do with human psychology and the unique prime directives of anti-Mormonism itself, and that's an interesting study to be sure.

By your justification, all religions are equally valid. Do you really believe this?
That doesn't follow in any necessary way. This apparently is an inferential argument (not made explicit) masquerading as a deductive argument.
