They're asking how bad actors will be handled by the system. It's using an analogy to ask a question, not propping up a straw man and knocking it down.

The question is utterly hyperbolic, that's why it's a straw man. Phrasing your answer in the form of a question does not magically grant rhetorical validity to your line of reasoning.

Maybe I'm mistaken but they pretty clearly did not answer their own question about how BI bad actors will be handled.
