As kind of an echo of radu_floricica's comment upthread: dismissing some X because some other people allegedly will have unreasonable concerns, that's another disease of discourse we get too much of. I wish people would restrain themselves from bringing up that kind of alleged obstacle until after getting to some kind of rough consensus at the object level. It's like a recipe for "We can't ever improve anything unless, somehow, magically, there's already common knowledge of the fix." The object-level talk is necessary to getting to common knowledge!
