"I'm not an idealisist! I'm just so upset by your insistence that data purity doesn't trump the needs of living people, that I'm going to block you!"
And to clarify, I never suggested that you were a bigot or had sinister motives. I suggested that you perceive data purity as some sort of ideal that needs to be upheld at all costs. And because you prioritise data purity, all of your "solutions" sustain data purity, but do it in ways that just won't happen.
But in the mean time, in the world we are both living in right now, a change that doesn't uphold data purity as the primary goal, is achievable, and literally saves lives.
You aren't sinister. You just have your priorities in the wrong place, because to you, this is hypothetical and driven by an idealised perspective of what the world could be, rather than the reality of what it is right now, and the harm that is already happening because of it
