Lammy is correct. Essentially, it means to start a controversy over something not because it's important, but because it's easy to understand. For instance, everyone can have an opinion about whether Python should have an explicit self argument on methods. But few people would argue with me if I suggested that Python should do away with metaclasses (which would probably have a much bigger effect on the language as a whole than doing away with self) simply because few people actually know what a Python metaclass is.
