It was a counter argument against the dangerous topic being dangerous, which by necessity touched the dangerous topic and which wasn’t strong enough to justify this (anyone for whom the dangerous topic actually would be dangerous [rather than just causing nightmares] would almost by necessity already be aware of a stronger argument).
Interesting. Thanks, uprated; with the caveat that of course, we only have your word that the other argument is “stronger”.
Without further evidence, it’s my rationality plus consideration of the issue minus overconfidence against yours. You have an advantage on consideration, since you know both arguments while I only know that I know one; however, on the whole, I think it would be pathological for me to abandon my argument and belief just on that basis. As for the other aspects, we’re both probably smarter and less biased than average people, and I don’t see any argument to swing that.

In other words, I still think I’m right.
