An old saying is an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

When the cure prevents any analysis of applying prevention (even discussing it) then the cure is part of the problem.

In what way does either of these cures prevent any analysis?

[RobertRoberts]

When some absurd cure comes along, and you question it's veracity, the common and often immediate (even vitriolic) response is to find some extreme edge case where the cure is effective.

This approach demonizes the questioner while justifies the cure for any and all ailments. Therefore shutting down any rational discussion on the merits of both the cure, underlying disease/problem and any concepts of prevention.
