  > For future, I'll write "sin taxes, a type of Pigovian taxes". Then you would still be incorrect, because - as explained above - sin taxes are not a "type of" Pigovian tax, but something entirely different. They might have similar motivations, but they are applied very differently and have very different socioeconomic effects. > The question remains if you support concern trolling over sin taxes, a type of Pigovian taxes as a means to thwart progress. The answer remains that sin taxes - unlike Pigovian taxes - do not result in progress, therefore leaving nothing to "thwart". But hey, maybe unwarranted condescension and confident incorrectness are, like pedantry, their own reward.
