When you say:

> Life is not safe, nor can it be made safe without taking away freedom. That is a fundamental truth of the world... Someone being gullible and willing to do things that a scammer tells them to do over the phone is not an "attack vector". It is people making a bad decision with their freedom.

That sounds pretty black and white extreme to me, when you talk about things like "life is not safe" and a "fundamental truth". I don't see any appreciation of balance there.

Maybe it's not what you meant to write, but your comment continues to absolutely come across as extremist and anti-balance to me. It seems like I was mischaracterizing what you actually believe (now that you've elaborated), but I don't think I mischaracterized what you wrote.
