You are positing that folks who are affected by some issues would not participate in frank, dispassionate discussion of these same issues... why exactly? To preserve their ego? It seems like a dubious assumption.
This doesn't really seem like a dubious assumption to me, practically everyone is more motivated to preserve their ego than to think rationally.
