(Also, your comment mixes mentions of predictions about future policies, predictions about predictions about future policies, and future policies in a way that makes it near-impossible to evaluate your explicit message (if someone wanted to do that instead of ignoring it because its foundations are weak). I point this out because if you want to imply that someone or some coalition of parts of someone (some group) is “fanatically committed” to some apparently-indefensible position you should be extra careful to make sure your explicit argument is particularly strong, or at least coherent. You also might not want to imply that one is implicitly assuming obviously absurd things (e.g. “with an aggregation rule that doesn’t automatically hand the decision to the internal component that names the biggest number”) even if you insist on implying that they are implicitly assuming non-obviously absurd things.)
