So you're admitting that you can't come up with a real concern and are
opposing just for the sake of opposing.

I think it's important to discuss such issues a lot in general,
because they improve our reasoning.

But just to take away the outcome of your well-meaning pessimism:
There could be a white hair in that soup just as there could indeed be
a black hair in the opposite colored "Now, why didn't I think of
that?" soup of well-meaning optimism you warn against. If you can
follow this rahter heavily metaphoric dish of thought, it looks like
we learned something today, in that case.

cheers!
