Even if we agree that it is not a terrible answer, we seem to agree that it is an insufficient one. Notice that I didn't say that the reaction to hear such an answer would be to ignore and take down the fence, but to keep investigating for the underlying truth.
- namelessoracle 5y agoYes, but plenty of people would treat religious/ideological justifications as the reason and stop their investigation there. "Make god angry" is parsed as "because these people had a religious belief i believe is false", and they assume they understand the Fence in question and mow it down.
- rglullis 5y agoIf the issue is that someone in a position of power wants to make the change and all they are given is "religious/ideological justifications", then I'd say that an incomplete answer is indeed bad. It's easier to dismiss 20 different people saying the exact same, meaningless "God will be angry" answer than to dismiss 20 different tales of "someone two/three/six generations ago got attacked/drowned/never was seen again after going to the ocean".
