I’d rather deal with intellectually dishonest argumentation than live in a walled garden where only certain opinions are acceptable.

Interesting. Not me.

Intellectually dishonest argumentation cannot avoid ending in falsehood. By design it grows to consume all available time.

A walled garden, if constructed in good faith, has at least the potential to find truth.

I suspect that we're really both just contrasting best-case and worst-case scenarios for our preferred positions. What ends up actually happening is a mix of both.
