I think this is a little unfair to your authors. Writing is a form of art, and like all art should be allowed to be offensive and make you uncomfortable. Some of the books that have affected me deeply and changed my thinking are books I have found very offensive.
This I am commenting on simply because I found it unfair. He didn’t pull out a hypothetical or even put forth the possibility. Another commenter was saying that is what your company should do. He used a paragraph to illustrate what the reality of doing this would look like and why he felt you would not do this.
I found nothing to suggest his argument was dishonest or malicious.
