Whenever I see this argument, I always ask the same question:

Which position would you take in the line of people to be sacrificed? How much sacrifice are you willing to put up with? Not other people, just you.

If it was necessary? Sure, I'd volunteer.

I don't think it's necessary in this case, as I think my original comment made quite clear. There just isn't an inherent contradiction between these two things.

Your point is extremely well presented. I see that those with no counterargument resort to downvotes, because that is all that people of small minds and reasoning can do, downvote.
