This is ridiculous. Each objection makes the deal less good; several objections combined together may make it bad enough that you should turn down the deal. Just because each objection by itself isn’t enough to break the deal doesn’t mean that they can’t be bad enough cumulatively.
I might read a 40 chapter book with a boring first chapter. Or with a boring second chapter. Or with a boring third chapter, etc. But I would not want to read a book which contains 40 boring chapters.
This is especially so in the case of objections 1 and 6. If you don’t separate them you end up with “You have a disease and will soon die unless you get an operation. By some crazy coincidence the operation costs exactly as much as cryonics does and the only hospitals capable of performing the operation are next to cryonics facilities. Furthermore, by another coincidence, the chance of the operation actually working is the same as the chance of cryonics actually working Do you get the operation?” The answer is often “no”; an expensive but likely way to save your life is okay (#1) and an unlikely but cheap way is also okay (#6). But not one which is both expensive and unlikely.
