Hm, yes. I agree with this analysis. I focussed too much on the technicality of the voting mechanism which is a kind of inhumane given. Crying about a social norm become technical reality doesn’t help. But saying ‘get over it’ do the underlying issue justice either. I should have taken the feelings more seriously.
Glad we agree. This is in large part a tone issue. It’s still reasonable to ask why someone thinks the existence of feeling X supports policy decision Y; I think that can be done without sounding dismissive.
