As a meta-remark, your comment doesn't steelman my argument, and I think that steelmanning arguments helps keep the conversation on track, so I'd appreciate it if you were to do so in the future.

Something has gone severely wrong with the 'steelman' concept if it is now being used offensively, to force social obligations onto others. This 'meta-remark' amounts to a demand that if JonahSinick says something stupid then it is up to others to search related concept space to find the nearest possible good argument for a better conclusion and act as if Jonah had said that instead of what he actually said. That is an entirely unreasonable expectation of his audience and expecting all readers to come up with what amounts to superior content than the post author whenever they make a reply is just ridiculously computationally inefficient.
