This reads as meta-contrarianism (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/9kcTNWopvXFncXgPy/intellectual-hipsters-and-meta-contrarianism https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/9kcTNWopvXFncXgPy/intellectu...).

It seems the way that you are comparing arguments here is based on the subtleness of the effect rather than its magnitude.
