Precisely right, yes.

This is indistinguishable from what most eugenicists were saying at the turn of the 20th century.

I hear you loud and clear: you don't want to forcibly sterilize anybody. OK, good on you for that.

This isn't an argument against anything I said. You can't say "some people in the past also said this." That tells nobody anything about whether it's right or wrong.

That's because it's one of the things that we know, empirically, turned out so wrong, it's one of the wrongest things humanity has ever wronged. Most people don't need to be told that, for this obvious reason.
