I agree, and I don't think that "stopsign!" should ever be used as a fully general counterargument; it certainly can't be used as an argument against the feasibility of cryonics. In my comment above, I was protesting against "future technology!" being used to pre-emptively end the discussion. Apologies if this was unclear.
It's not a counterargument in any case, at best it invokes an antiprediction. It's a reminder to not stop thinking where it actually is possible to figure more out, which has a pretty general applicability.
