I'm not sure if that would be a smart move, since it would mean an extremely high concentration of unsupported controversial claims in a single post.

In this format that sounds like a good thing! At worst it would spark curiosity and provoke discussion. At best people would encounter a startling opinion that they had never seriously considered, think about for 60 seconds then form an understanding that either agrees with yours or disagrees, for a considered reason.

seconded, but a list of 20 seems too long/too much work, no?

I'd be thinking 5. :)
