I think one has to take into account the fact that they can't say, "obviously a lot of people would just get killed." That's not really in their vocabulary for a lot of reasons, though they all know this.

The production of sanitized & fantastical products (partly) out of an unwillingness to bluntly engage (for, as you point out a variety of reasons) with actual consequences of a nuclear attack is, I would argue, counterproductive to actual preparedness & mitigation.

It may be — that's the tricky line to probe. (We are doing research on this very question over here as part of the RCD project.) The question is, if they are unable to do less sanitized work, is this better than nothing on their part? B/c nothing is irresponsible, too.
