This strikes me as tautological and/or confusing definitions. I'm happy to agree that the idea is dangerous to people who think it is dangerous, but I don't think it's dangerous and I think I understand it. To make an analogy, I understand the concept of hell but don't think it's dangerous, and so the concept of hell does not bother me. Does the fact that I do not have the born-again Christian's fear of hell mean that they understand it and I don't? I don't see why it should.
I can't figure out a way to explain this further without repropagating the idea, which I will not do. It is likely that there are one or more pieces of the idea which you are not familiar with or do not understand, and I envy your epistemological position.
Yes, but the concept of hell is easier to understand. From what I have read in the discussions, I have no idea how the Basilisk is supposed to work, while it's quite easy to understand how hell is supposed to work.
