While I don't find that line of argument to be a fully fledged
straw-horse argument, it
does appear to me to be a cherry-picked argument to *attempt* to
refute. There are
much stronger arguments, both practical and philosophical, at any
attempt to elide
controversial content. Even as such, I am not convinced by the
argumentation, but
would not prefer to rebut an argument that does not address the
strongest reasons
for opposing elision of controversial content, by choice or otherwise.
