Do the ethical injunctions imply that such discussions shouldn't occur?

Of course not. I'm not saying the strategy shouldn't be discussed, I'm saying that you seem to be expressing greater certainty of your proposed approach being correct than would be warranted.

(I wouldn't object to people discussing math, but I would object if somebody thought 2 + 2 = 5.)
