I lean toward the foom side, and I think I agree with the first statement. The intuition for me is that it’s kinda like p-hacking (there are very many possible graphs, and some percentage of those will be gradual), or using a log-log plot (which makes everything look like a nice straight line, but are actually very broad predictions when properly accounting for uncertainty). Not sure if I agree with the addendum or not yet, and I’m not sure how much of a crux this is for me yet.
