It’s an effect that should be taken into account in a broad array of situations. Emile didn’t say that it was an overwhelmingly powerful argument in all situations, nor did she come a little bit close to implying it.
This actually looks like a fully general argument if favor of any status quo.
This makes no sense as a criticism unless you think it’s claimed to be very powerful. If it can be weak, then sure, it’s a fully general argument in favor of any status quo, and that’s A-OK, and it’s fairly obviously A-OK, so what are you complaining about?

...and nor did I criticize it for that.
So where did this whole idea come from?
