Something may be bad, but accurately describing why it is bad significantly elevates the discourse.

Eg, someone could use the phrase "Won't someone think of the children?" to describe a legitimately bad thing like bank fraud, but the solutions that flow from the problem that "children are in danger" are significantly different from the solutions that flow from "phishing attacks are rampant".

The two issues in this case aren't quite as different as child-endangerment and bank fraud. But if the problem was as the original title describes, the solution is quite different (better sandboxing) than what the actual solution is. Which I don't know, but better sandboxing ain't it.

attacking people for having more nuance and accuracy than you have is how polarization and tribal epistemology happens

'ignore the facts! ENEMY!!!' generally doesn't end well for anybody
