The problem isn't convincing your audience that I'm wrong, it's *proving to everyone you can, yourself included* that I'm wrong.

Whataboutism, Gish galloping, ignoring burden of proof, relying on biased estimates, assuming inevitability, appealing to distorted understandings of "harm reduction," conflating sci-fi tropes with marketing terminology, all of that is just rhetoric. It doesn't address the substance of the problem.
