How is it laughable? Both live corals and dead skeletons have a role to play on a reef. Removing either of them will disrubt that. Other dead skeletons form a base for the new ones to grow on. If you take out the dead ones where will the live ones grow?

I am not trying to pick your words apart I am just shoing the flaw in your logic.

Yes the cycle of life exists but life conquers death, rock can be replaced, live coral not so easy. Even now when they attempt to rebuild reefs they don't have any problems making the structures to hold the corals, it takes hardly any time to make them yet it takes many years to grow the coral.
