I think what diegocaleiro is saying is that the people he asked didn't make any arguments of the above form. They didn't consider the option rationally, and then reject it for rational, analytical reasons. From the post itself:
It seems (from diegocaleiro's description) that no one he asked had actually performed a cost-benefit analysis, even a flawed or half-hearted one. The question of what this sort of behavior implies is an entirely separate one from that of whether cell freezing is a useful practice.
Would you describe my comment as a cost-benefit analysis? I mean, I know what cognitive algorithms I executed before typing it up to the limit of my introspection, but I don't know if diegocaleiro would look at that and say "oh, he's rationalizing" or "oh, he didn't think that this was a promising technology but had considered it before / hadn't thought of it because of that."
