Of course it's accurate to say a lot of people aren't smart.

A lot of people also may or may not be smart but have limited knowledge of this area and limited time/effort to expend thinking about it.

I don't think you should rail against those things because they will always be true for every topic.

Instead, people who have understood the deeper implications of this, for instance the typical HN reader, need to connect with the average person, engage with rather than dismiss their child protection fears, while explaining the downsides.

Taking a high handed dismissive attitude will not help to shift public opinion.

But I'm expressing my opinion on HN, not for the general public?

I thought that stating this, I believe, fact as a contributing factor in the creeping authoritarian climate would be understood without having to attach a handful of caveats and papers?
