Framing this in terms of anti-cult literature is sort of assuming the conclusion: if what they were doing was appropriate, those models would condemn it just the same.
This line of reasoning confuses me a bit. I think what you’re saying here is “If [the behaviors that anti-cult people object to] turned out to actually be on the critical path for saving the world, the anti-cult people would still object to those behaviors.” Is that an accurate restatement?
