This opinion alone will get (and has got) me branded as a heretic amongst many people, and that alone proves how deeply we are stuck in this tar-pit.
Caution is advised when interpreting opposition to a position as justification for the position. This kind of tenuous logic is frequently used to justify continued oppression in e.g. obscure religious communities ("They all hate us, so we must be right!"). I'm not saying your position is invalid (nor as a non-mathematician am I qualified to do so), just that it could be better supported.
True, I shouldn't argue like this. Thanks for pointing out that fallacy.
What I've been trying to convey is that I've come with what I think is a sensible position, and often got responses that ranged from fervent opposition to (very occasionally) verbally violent backlash. Maybe it was just me incorrectly stating my point, though.
