A lot of meta-level fretting has the property of being one-sided - it's about a single option considered in isolation, not about two alternatives. If there's a concrete alternative that's supposed to help humanity more and has a decent chance of being actually correct vs. the sort of thing one dutifully ought to consider, I am usually totally happy to consider it. (You've seen me ask 'Can we have a concrete policy implication, please?' or 'Is there an option on the table for what we should be doing instead, if that's true?' at a number of discussions, right? This is often what my 'wasted motion' heuristic looks like when it fires.)
