Uh, why would I be kidding and how on earth is that victim blaming?
There's a range of reasons people don't tend to make the full case for the opposite of the thing they're passionate about. Those who can actually do so are vanishingly rare.
This is a valid point!
People might feel they must put 100% on arguing for their case when fighting a consensus, because everyone else is already doing the opposite.
Steel-manning the opposing perspective could yield stronger insight in favor of their passion. This would convince people to change their minds more effectively, because most are obsessed in the case of "true SBS" with physical abuse.
I think your original comment just had a ring of "he's selling a book, don't trust his intentions"
