I do not harbour any such doubt. I also don't see how they might be
suggested by my question [1], or by my rebuttal of your claim that it
was a meaningless question because it wrongly presumed there's a
single objective standard for what is "safe and sane" [2].
[1] "And what's wrong with having safe and sane defaults for those
who choose not to make their own informed choices?"
[2] "I disagree. I would say it presumes that the person/people
releasing the software are capable of forming an opinion as to
what they consider to be 'safe and sane.'"

Because I believe my question outlines a valid alternative strategy to
the one outlined in your question [3], to which I was replying.
[3] "Instead of telling people what they should do, what's wrong with
giving people options and telling them that it's their
responsibility to make informed choices?"
