I’m not sure what you mean by “worse” here. To my mind, challenging the original claim as false is far superior to failing to engage with it altogether, since it can lead to progress.
In that vein, perhaps it would help if you returned to JGWeissman’s original comment and ask them to clarify what makes Bayesian rationality “a systematic way of producing good theories,” so you can either learn from or correct them on the question.
