By pushing it to the underground you by definition make it harder to access, and as you've said it becomes more extreme and thus less appealing - even repellant - to a mainstream audience who stumbles across it.

This is what we want.

So instead of creating a bias with counter arguments at the same level, you make an abstract argument biasing the bias at a lower (or higher?) level, for lack of a better word. That's kind of the irony I was looking for in my previous comments, though not quite as I had put it. Very well.
