The problem is that people have been characterizing the offsetting loss for decades while people blinded by political biases refuse to admit the evidence, however clear it is.
To a degree, it becomes impossible for them on a subconscious level because of the social costs involved.
This is a mass psychology problem, not a scientific evidence problem.
I would encourage you to speak with subject matter experts if you truly believe that this is a mass psychology problem.
It's too convenient to discount people who disagree with you as being "politically biased" and "blinded." A better explanation is that they observed the same input you do and concluded the benefit is still worth the risk.
And if it turns out that millions of Americans became stupid because of fluoride and not, say, bad parenting, phone addiction, and manipulative media, I won't be too proud to admit you were right.
