Your previous comments provided an interesting (if unnecessarily polemical) counterpoint, but you've lost me with this one. Exploring the potential ramifications of a policy change is the very reason for discussing it, and the point of an article like this is to spur discussion. But in this comment you seem to go beyond criticizing the particular article, to criticizing the very idea of suggesting a policy change. You seem to be saying, "nobody should ever propose changing anything, because whatever change they propose, I can probably think of negative consequences that they didn't mention." Presumably that's not what you meant, but I can't guess what you did mean.
