I've come across very few software engineers who find it a 'solid proposition'

Well, be careful to not read more than what I wrote. The proposition to which I referred is that sometimes IP law stimulates innovation. I'm sure you can see that that is entirely consistent with the proposition that IP law sometimes getting in the way of innovation, and I just can't picture normal engineers disagreeing with either of those (at least if you don't limit yourself to innovation that involves software engineering, which I didn't and neither did the post to which I was responding).

A broken clock is correct once or twice (depending on 24/12 format) a day. That doesn't make it equally desirable to one that actually works. That software patents in particular are more a detriment to software innovation than not seems to be a pretty solid proposition and in direct conflict with the purported rationale for the existence of them.
