People are going to come up with all sorts of excuses why it's wrong, simply because they're not comfortable with it.

Isn't this a fully general explanation for anything at all?

It could be, for anything that people aren't comfortable with. This isn't in any way a rebuttal to arguments - it's an explanation for bad/non-arguments.
