I read all of the written opinions from my home state's Supreme Court(it's a weird hobby, I know), which includes any appeals of state bar disciplinary actions. It takes a lot to actually get disbarred, and it's almost always for repeatedly doing things that are cut and dried no-no's, like misappropriating client funds. The bar disciplinary board and the judges who hear the appeals are all lawyers and they cut an incredible amount of slack for this kind of stuff. This argument, while dumb, wouldn't even merit a reprimand.
