Justifying Parallax Scrolling

Two of my colleagues at school questioned the use of parallax scrolling. I came across an article, "Parallax Scrolling Scripts and Plugins" by Louis Lazarus at Impressive Webs,  that I think substantiates its use. Lazarus includes links to scripts and plug-ins and says, "I think this type of site is certainly a legitimate design and development option for many brands."

I feel that the increased use of mobile design - with its finger scrolling - substantiates parallax scrolling. It has the added benefit of allowing the user to keep their cursor in one spot and scroll, rather than hopping over to a menu and clicking.
