gollark: No, I mean the "we do worse things so you can't criticise this somewhat bad thing" thing does not make sense. Unless you want to justify this "PBS" on its own merits, in which case do so, or actually don't as I don't really care.
gollark: That's a very stupid argument, but I'm not sure what to call it.
gollark: You can just not do either.
gollark: It's not between those though.
gollark: It's fuzzily defined, somewhat niche as a concern anyway, and rarely actually encoded into law.
