There absolutely was damage.

The damage was at a sociological/behavioral level and thus difficult to measure.

That which is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

“Damage, difficult to measure” was not what was predicted 30 years ago. Satanic apocalyptic 40k dark elves society, blood orgies and lawlessness was much closer to the messaging. Literal actual Judaic apocalypse was a major risk.

Once again, convenient logic swoops in to save the ego.
