It was hardly an argument.
Someone picks an example of a huge, stuffed-for-display, saddle pack and suggests panniers would be better. Panniers have their place but so do saddle packs. No sane person would pack their saddle pack like the one in the picture so their arguing against it was pretty pointless. Panniers are shit for off-roading, heavier and less aero. They do allow you to carry more stuff and maintain better bike handling and they can be turned into backpacks conveniently, great for touring. Each has it's place but picking extreme examples of either to justify the other is stupid.
