I take your use of the word “mysterious” to be referencing “Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions”
Hm, I guess it’s a bit different. If it was like that, the question would be “why are living things special?” and the answer would be “they have elan vital.” “Elan vital” being the mysterious answer to the mysterious question.
In Kagan’s article, the question is “is death bad for me?” and the answer is “it’s mysterious.”
Well if Kagan is wrong about it being mysterious, then I suppose it would be bad to give that answer. But simply writing an article saying something is mysterious is not at all bad in itself.

I agree.
