The worst part of it is, his basic argument makes some sense in that anyone new to Superman (or any character for that matter) doesnt necessarily know the origin, which is why companies like DC and Marvel redo or reprint the origin stories from time to time, but its his way of getting the point across that turns people against him.
Granted, you dont need the origin being told once a year every year, but its a useful thing to do every five to ten years as it not only helps newer readers, but it also allows creative teams to expand on things and maybe drop in some extra bits to help a current storyline.
Thats a rational way of putting it. Byrne is not rational.
