Congrats, you've found a means of disagreeing with any argument, without having to engage with its structure or content! You can just say 'well, you choose to think that argument is rationally justified, but that's just an aesthetic choice which itself cannot be rationally justified'.
This will save you lots of thinking and reading, but it will also mean nobody will want to talk to you. I guess you have an aesthetic choice to make about that!

Slight disagreement. One needs to engage with the content to such a degree that one is able to discern how it results from an aesthetic preference.
Otherwise, yes, you are correct.
Far too much gets far too far in philosophy when we ignore assessment of primary assumptions, and just hop midway into the argument.
