If you can't explain why a concept can't be discussed and convince others of the truth of that fact, then there's no reason to take the position seriously.

It has been explained why the concepts can't be discussed. If every correct line of reasoning were convincing to everyone, we wouldn't be living in the world that we do.

Do you see have much clearer you would be if you had described what concept you meant instead of just saying "the concept."

Compare "I decline to discuss Pick-Up Artistry" against "I decline to discuss the forbidden concept."
