I think his advice is roughly: if someone is saying something you generally agree with, but they have other bad beliefs and also there is likely to be some social cost due to offensiveness or maybe predicted offensiveness given that the position they have wasn’t arrived at with a good process, then you should not align yourself with them.
I don’t think Tyler argues here about social cost.
Tyler generally believes that it’s good to yield to experts in their domains. He is saying things like economists should listen more to philosophers when it comes to topics with philosophic implications.
