No, I'm repeating the "The net effect is negative for more people than it's positive for." argument again.
You are saying that "Anything we do is better than nothing." Which I might agree with in certain situations, but this here is the wrong solution to the wrong problem.
Psychologists call this black or white thinking - in this case, either something works perfectly or it's useless.
Next to impossible to get a person who believes this that they're engaging in a cognitive distortion though. I tried the same thing you're doing, once. I gave up. They will die on this hill and then wonder why they lost long after everyone else had moved on.
It's possible to make effective arguments in line with their values. They simply don't want to be helped.
The same can be told for your thinking. You (and several other posters) lumped several arguments into the same Nirvana fallacy [1]:
1. It's not 100% effective
2. It's only 50% effective
3. It is not even 10% effective
These are very different from each other. The first one may actually mean what you described (either something works perfectly or it's useless) but the others must be discussed separately.
Again, it's not a black or white issue. There is no universal constant threshold where it suddenly becomes viable. If you ask my personal opinion, I would say:
- If it's not even 10% effective, don't waste any resources. Replace it with another method.
- If it's 10% - 50% effective, improve it.
- If it's >50% effective, it's probably fine, leave it.
My point it that there can be many other shades of grey here. It's not fair to lump all opponents of the current implementation into the same basket.
No, it applies to Aeolun. That was my original point. You asked me my personal opinion and changed the goal post when I replied.
Also yes, that's how online forums work. I'm surprised that you haven't figured it out yourself even though you self-inserted into a critique of the social media ban that doesn't involve you.
