When This Blows Over

When confronted with this perspective, it seems more
reasonable to argue that it is not a productive analysis of
what caused - or could have prevented - this incident. It's
like wanting to argue over speed limits after a drunk driver
just killed a family of four going 90 the wrong way. (Cue
analogy haters.) Just because someone says "No speed limit
is going to stop that from happening" in response to
someone who only wants to talk about slower speed limits,
it doesn't mean they think we shouldn't even have any. The
context helps dictate the rhetoric.
I'm probably not entirely on Russell's side myself, but I
think the amount of light this exchange shines upon his
views is limited. And while I don't know about your
"equidistant" theory, I do believe that there's no stance so
right that it can't exist in a stupider and more dogmatic
form. In fact, often the righter the stance the more likely
this is to happen.
