Can you bring examples from LessWrong where you think people didn't understand hypotheticals and unfairly dismissed a hypotheticals?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it is probably better to keep this abstract and not call particular people out. I guess if I'm being honest, trying to remember when I saw an example and then find it, seems like a lot of work too.

Okay, so I found an example. It's from a top level poster, so I think it's fine to use as an example.
