This is a good question.
If I'm asking for quicksort, do I want the most common implementations or do I want an underrepresented impl?
If I'm asking for the history of Egypt, do I want the most common tellings or do I want some underrepresented narrative?
I suppose something like the race of a doctor in some Dalle image ends up being a very special case in the scheme of things, since it's a case where we don't necessarily care.
Maybe the steelman of the idea that you shouldn't special case it can be drawn along these lines, too. But I think to figure that out you'd need to consider examples along the periphery that aren't so obvious unlike "should a generated doctor be black?"
