These are not just people dismissing this as a bad idea (which would have encouraged me to do the same), these are people are worrying about a dangerous idea. I’m more convinced I’m right than I was when I wrote the post.
Becoming more convinced of your own position when presented with counterarguments is a well known cognitive bias.
Knowing about biases may have hurt you. The counterarguments are not what convinced me; it’s that the counterarguments describe my post as bad because it belongs to the class of things that it is warning against.
There are other counterarguments in the comments here that have made me less convinced of my position; this is not a belief of which I am substantially certain.
