I wasn't saying we shouldn't debate the implementation details. I just think they should be separate arguments.
It's like if someone killed my dog with 3d printed gun and so everyone started talking about banning or regulating 3d printers. It's like, yes, debating 3d printer regulation is probably a worthwhile debate to have, but regardless of where we end up on that it doesn't change the fact that that person killed my dog.
We should be having a debate as to whether there are certain things that are off limits to bet on, but regardless of where that debate goes, if a state has banned sports betting, it should be banned regardless of the platform.
> any state that allows sports betting is going to struggle to argue a case to ban prediction markets because you're essentially arguing over implementation details
I think their point was that your "going to struggle to argue a case" belief does not logically follow from a need to argue "over implementation details"
