> This is a common failure mode tech people get into in debates: finding an extreme example as an analogy.

I don't agree with GP but I want to defend the analogy, which I found perfectly fair. Analogies help us understand the world and uncover internal contradictions in our thinking.

I thought vlovich123's sibling comment did a great job responding the analogy on its merits (making some of the same points you did).
