It is at the inconsequential personal taste parts that most flamewars are fought. Reason? The consequential, nonpersonal-tast parts are… impersonal. You can’t leave a mark by asserting that quintic equations are unsolvable: it is a mathematical fact that is true regardless of who discovered it. In contrast, you can leave a mark by asserting, and making others to agree with you, that Pluto should be considered a planet. It’s not a fact, but a convention, and convention is dependent on the individuals. Pluto’s status of being a planet would be inseparable from your contribution! In contrast, the unsolvability of quintic equations is true regardless of your contribution.  
In other words, people fight to mark their intellectual territory, like dogs metaphorically pissing on the intellectual landmarks. The more a topic is inconsequential, artificial, a matter of taste and convention rather than necessity, the more the topic attracts these pissing dogs, biting each other in an attempt to claim a share for a place in the historical development of the topic at hand.  
To put it more poetically: without Euclid, the Euclidean geometry would still be developed; without Mozart, there won’t be Mozart’s music. If you don’t fight and don’t win a mathematical argument, sooner or later someone else is bound to win it. If you don’t fight and don’t win a taste/convention flame war, it might be lost. It’s the evitability, artificiality, and un-necessity of these topics that make them prime ground for leaving your personal intellectual mark.
