I object to this (and have come close to saying it a few times
before).
One of the things that further undermines potential support for
something (and further raises questions about intentions) is when
people raise legitmate and substantive issues with a specific
proposal, and the responses start moving away from responding to the
substance to arguments like "Gee, can't we even do experiments anymore",
etc., etc.

This just-terminated proposal was marked by a rather obscure and
strikingly weak value proposition, and no apparent concern for costs of
implementation and use.
