We are regularly wrong when we try to come up with first principles when trying to make assumptions about nutrition.
Even "lectins must always be bad" turns out to be wrong.
You don't necessarily complete the circle here, granted, but I've heard it claimed many times lately by Twitter carnivore-diet influencers that plants must be bad for you because they don't have claws/teeth thus they depend on chemical deterrents.
It's a very arbitrary attempt at a first principle, not the least of which because it seems to suggest that we are incapable of even the most basic nutrition science.
