Nailed it.
Yes and: Many purists (utopians) continue to oppose infra for authenticated speech. Despite all the evidence, experience, and logic.
I wonder if this stubborn naivety comes from our modern geek creation myths. Wasn't it Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card) that had some kids conducting a Greek dialog in public, arguing both sides, anonymously, shaping the zeitgeist, thru their amazing rhetoric?
As if. If allowed, noise always overwhelms signal. More as the production costs of noise approaches zero, driving the cost of discerning signal up to infinity.
(What geekling hasn't read Ender's Game? Imagined themselves as humanity's savior? Huh. Now I wonder what fables Harry Potter reading Millennials will unwittingly foist onto the world, when it's their turn.)
