I agree with you. I'm just pointing out an incorrect statement. We have the means to implement collapsible spoilers (heck, I could do it in <15 minutes). But that's not the right direction, not even the right ballpark.

Absolutely. I've been looking through articles using spoiler warning template, and a stupidly high number of them have the template directly below a section heading with the title "plot details" or the like. Using the spoiler template is in these cases, *completely unnecessary* even if the premise of warning people is valid in other situations.
Unfortunately I don't have time to seek out all such cases and immediately fix them, but I would suggest these more than any other uses of the spoiler template (or arguments about not using it ever) should be tackled immediately. All that's necessary is to ensure the section heading gets the message across as to what is contained within the section, something that should already be the case. The spoiler warning is completely and utterly redundant where used below such a section heading.
