I did, as Eugine noted, support leaving part of the territory unmapped just because some can't handle the truth. We really do want to avoid making such compromises too often. Yet since the approach of being cautious when discussing matters of human social behaviours work is already in place I like to acknowledge it.

Huh. I didn't parse it that way at all - I read it as saying that social behavior is something that we can't usefully talk about here, for a variety of reasons including the low average skill level, and thus we need to be doing independent study on the subject.

That's true as well, just didn't fit in the bullet point - I wanted to include the aspect that Eugine would have taken.
