Saying it’s an important sentence implies to me like changing it to less extreme wording would change whether or not one is supposed to support the letter.
It’s hard for me to understand how someone might think it’s important in that sense.
Similarly, suppose someone said that Apple is the most valuable company in history (current market cap of 2.14T), I would ask whether they knew about the East India Company that was so big it had its own armed forces of about 260,000 soldiers. They imply a bunch of different things about the shape of history. As does the claim about whether the worst catastrophe ever in history would be an all-out nuclear war, or whether something worse has happened.
The sentence sticks out to me as not clearly true; and it seems like an important sentence.

No, I mean important for one’s world-model.
