I agree with your sentiment but this is a poor way to dismiss an argument.
"No big company can ever do a bad thing because I'm sure they've thought deeply and thoughtfully about it."
Actually no, me pointing out that “a literal anon in their armchair probably hasn’t thought through a challenging legal problem as thoroughly as the billion dollar company making the decision has” is not actually the same as saying that “every big company is infallible” but nice try
