As I replied above, the claim of maxing curation is just a misconception. But I do agree with you that it isn't a question of black or white and reasonable people can disagree on what is best for the platform (and I very much respect when people are able to recognize gray areas).

Disagreement is entirely fair, and that's why we have: a) the ability of anyone to post whatever they think helps the platform, and b) the ability of anyone to vote up or down on such posts.
