I should mention a well known psychology factor called the Inoculation effect. When you make an ill conceived argument for something, the target develops defensive cognitive attitudes against your position. Later, they will not be convinced by better arguments.

I can make an argument for owning EBRs but if a person has seen the Chipolte Two and thinks they are nuts or dangerous - they might not look favorably towards owning them. Then a good argument will be ignored.

The OC demos that we have seen may be prime examples of this. Probably some criminologist is testing it.
