That's a strange dodging of the question.
If you were convinced that showing the blots causes harm to potential patients, rather than to psychologists' self-esteem, would you then support the removal of the blots?
The fact is that I'm not convinced of that, so it's pointless to engage in hypotheticals about what I would do if I were.
That's a more obvious dodging of the question. You're basically saying "I'm not going to tell you if this argument could possibly be productive", which is fundamentally dishonest.
