I live in Iowa and I did not participate in the caucus this year even though I'm registered as a republican.
I can tell you this much though, I can think of at least 10 people right off the top of my head that also didn't participate in it.
Had they have voted along with me let's say for santorum, would you still be able to say every vote doesn't count?
Even though it would have quite literally changed the outcome of the caucus?
The only thing that sounds silly here is trying to convince a group of people that their votes wouldn't count.
If this was the bush versus gore election where the electoral votes outweighed the popular then yeah I would have to agree, but it's not the same.
