I’m not clear where you place the controversy.
Both places.
I think “not an immediate threat” yelds “indefinite survivability”.
That doesn’t look like a reasonable position, at least if you use words in their normal meaning.
I see just a continuum between the cost of the two memes.
Ah, so there are two memes here? So which one are we talking about and which one corresponds to what you want to claim?
