The trouble with gauging HN's actual opinion on things is that there's a lot of people here who just want to argue and play semantic games. I remember when Roe was overturned, people would make upset comments obviously just looking to commiserate and feel outraged, and people who agreed it was wrong in their own main comments would 'play devil's advocate' for funsies anyway. By the end of the threads it sure didn't seem like they were just playing a side, and they're not thinking about anyone else reading the thread and coming away convinced by their debate exercise. They're bored and took issue with an analogy.
