I think it’d be more accurate to say that “there’s this other factor too” rather than “this analysis is not valid”?
There are a number of comments expressing disagreement that have gotten a fair number of upvotes, so it doesn’t look to me like expressing disagreement would be unwelcome.
Edited to add: I should also mention that I don’t think this comment came out of “abstract analysis”. It came from the fact that back when I banned Eugine Nier, I then reached out to a user who had left the site because of him to let them know their harasser was banned. The user’s response was basically, “glad to hear, but I still don’t feel like coming back”. So at least in one previous case, users who had left because of a now-banned user were actually permanently out of the resulting discussion.
