There's a difference between reasonable and pedantic. To say "going through that neighborhood is perfectly safe", doesn't mean you're not aware of there ever being crimes there.

So yeah, if you would try something like that within the context of a very contested issue, I would definitely assume you're clandestinely trying to sabotage the discussion.

Yeah, I know.

People mean different things, when they say they want to have a discussion guided by facts.

I mean it literal.

"there is no reason to not get vaccinated, they are totally safe"

And since this is factual wrong, I think it is very weird to assume that I would want to sabotage a discussion, when relativating absolutistic statements, that bring no benefit to any discussion. They only enforce groupthink. But this this rather the cultural default, which I am quite aware of.
