It is normal, expected, and healthy to offer criticism of self interested proposals. And mock even. What is unhealthy is to imply someone said what they did not.

If that's what this is, a bank-shot snarky criticism of the proposal, fair enough. I read it instead as a criticism of a stakeholder having the temerity to make a proposal in the first place. It's not their job to anticipate and capture all your objections. That's your job!
Everyone holds a stake in this discussion. And intellectual honesty is everyone's obligation.
Yes, that is a shorter way of saying what I just said.
Amodei did not fail to anticipate and capture all objections. He dishonestly avoided well known objections. This was what you meant?
No, it is not his job to state all the objections you might have to his proposal! That's your job.
> all the objections you might have

My comment before corrected this straw man clearly.
