You didn't answer my question.
If we dont' base policy on (narrowly construed, laboratory-style) facts alone, we use other things in additiojn. Like ethics and practicallity.
In the great-great-grandparent you make the extremely strong assertion that some facts have such bad implications that reflecting on them causes more harm than good, this raises the question of how can you know which facts have this property without reflecting on them?
Also what do you mean by "ethics"? Do you mean the ethics in the LW-technical sense of ethical injunction or in the non-technical sense of morality?
Would you car to explain which one you meant.
