To me, this leads to almost indistinguishable outcomes as the straw vulcan.

I don't see how it would. If you make me angry, this doesn't lead me to say "I should not be angry", or to deny that I am angry, or to pretend that I'm not angry; rather the opposite, I will (best case) understand both why I am angry and why I should be angry; what the point of being angry is.

If that's a straw Vulcan, we have moved very far away from Mr. Spock.
