Re [2] the disagreement was about whether that joke was (socially) acceptable.
One can always come up with {counter-}examples—iterate to depth desired—but that’s not really the point. The point is to which degree a general statement applies unconditionally. I happen to think that “a disagreement is a positive event” is a highly conditional observation.
Oh, and I don’t recommend double-cruxing cops. I suspect this will go really badly.
It’s hard to upset me :-)
