I'm not understanding the redundant back and forth in these threads and it's really humorous that people think this all boils down to "that's just your opinion." What's the point if that's what it all boils down to?

It isn't uncommon for policies and laws to be assessed, by those who create and/or evalute them, on the basis of potential consequences that even SOME people think don't serve the greater good. That includes research and other evaluative sources. People's opinions or expertise on a matter can be the deciding factors even if it isn't the popular opinion based on however people determine what's popular.
