Imagine this logic applied to a system that doesn't involve humans (to remove the emotional component):
Person #1: "We need to throw out our water filter and just drink straight from the tap."
Person #2: "Why?"
Person #1: "We studied the chemicals that were filtered out of the water and it turns out that the activated carbon was removing more of some chemicals than others."
Person #2: "Aren't some chemicals more dangerous than others? Did you check whether the chemicals being removed were dangerous or whether the ones not removed were safe?"
Person #1: "That's not the point. The filter isn't filtering all chemical equally. We need to dismantle the filter system."
