You're giving reasons why it might work-- I still think my reasons are strong enough for it to be reasonable to not be an early adopter.

No, I'm not just saying "it might work". As I said, I like my odds a lot better in the telepathic society than in the "normal" society, for the reasons I gave.

If you disagree with me, and think your odds are better in the normal society, that's a good enough reason to opt out. Which is fine. But I've made a claim and you disagree with it.

I have no idea where "early adopter" comes from here; in this scenario both societies have existing members.
