A pragmatic argument. Yes, they should have the right to do this. Yes, this is ethically justifiable. No, this is not going to work. The last one matters and so I am critical of it on those grounds. A clarity which isn't achievable by mixing all these things up.https://twitter.com/AvaDalley13/status/1000348272471441408 …

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but anyway, maybe I'm too pragmatic. I don't think many people agree with my point lol. But for me it's so much about working or not working, but more about what you want to achieve or what conversation you want to bring about.

Sorry, its part of an ongoing thing on my timeline about people mixing and merging arguments and this not working. You didn't do that.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1000348943807631360 …

Very often, problems with thinking things through and making arguments for and against them come from conflating a number of different questions like:
Should people have the right to do this?
Is what they are doing ethical?
Is what they are doing likely to work as planned?
