Plausible mechanisms of action is not the same as proven effectiveness. We would not accept pills that perform as well as the placebo effect to be prescribed by medical doctors, so why is acupuncture different?

Also, to your last sentence, skeptics don't generally subscribe to arguments from antiquity.
