"Reasonable people" seems awfully "no true Scotsman"-y to me

But I don't know that it actually is. There's no “everyone will be fine with this” – implied is a “most people are reasonable”, so it isn't the right form of argument to be a No True Scotsman.

No, it's a simple inital assumption about good faith actors. In my opinion, this is a strategy that often pays off.
