What you say is a fact, and is not why I posted this.
I am trying to explore the arguments against an Article V convention so as to strengthen my argument for it.

Well a couple of arguments are the sheer impossibility of such a convention happening, and the probability that nothing would be ratified even if it was held. This county is almost hopelessly divided. There are 26 states that went for Obama last election. Only 17 are needed to block the Article V convetion to begin with. Only 13 are needed to block any amendments. The math is against it.
