Almost all societies used to believe (and some still do) that what we now call child abuse was ok. People who experienced it themselves would go on to do it to others. Getting past that was a thought evolution that took hundreds of years, not "a tiny bit of reading". Stallman dared to question the dominant belief in the US today, and needed more evidence before accepting that belief. With sufficient investigation (hardly "lazy thinking") he came to agree with it, but that's not enough for the social media mobs. His experience shows that one must not only accept the dominant belief, one must accept it immediately and without question, because a moment of heresy will never be forgiven or forgotten.
