Threads like that, to most of the "true believers", are like being hit with an Asimov. For those unfamiliar:
""Let me ask you something, Mr. Garibaldi. A purely philosophical question. on a scale of one to ten...how stupid do you think I am? Do you really think I'd let you run around knowing what you know, and leave to free to kill me? I hit you with an Asimov. He was a writer long ago who wrote stories about robots. He came up with a set of rules to prevent them from turning against mankind. The cyber-tecs adopted them in the early pre-ban experiments, and I've found them useful myself from time to time. Before we finished adjusting you, I made sure we planted Asimov's two most important rules in your mind: you cannot harm me directly nor, through inaction, allow harm to come to me. To make it harder for someone else to break the conditioning, I put the block in the part of your brain that controls the neural system. You can want to kill me as much as you want; the same way I can say, 'I want to raise this hand.' But it won't lift up, until I send the impulse. You're blocked at the point of action, but I left your rage intact. Call it, counterpoint, dramatic irony."
Hit with an Asimov. Yup.
