If your standard of avoiding cognitive dissonance requires being an economist, it's too high.

It's enough to have a reasonable justification to say that it can be reconciled. There's no need to force the person to do that reconciliation.

What I'm saying is that in some cases I do believe it to be irreconcileable.

Irreconcilable even by a dictator-for-a-day? As far as I'm concerned the idea of a tax that funds content creation is a pretty good existence proof of reconciling those two ideas.
