This is true, but being against flame wars in general means some important topics just don't get discussed, even though they're directly relevant to HN - here there's both a current news angle and a whole bundle of tech questions, from ethics to how one measures the success rate of a new technology.
That's already the case for lots of topics. People flagging this stuff aren't doing it because they think it's not important and they aren't what makes it one of the topics that's difficult to discuss.
