There's a complaint I've seen against "sea-lioning" I think that's the term? Anyway it's apparently seeming reasonable while actually being unreasonable. Or something like that.

This seems to me to be a problem very low on the list of problems. Imagine we lived in a world filled with reasonable sounding people. Some of those people were in fact un-reasonable they just acted reasonable.

Would that world be better or worse then the reality we find ourselves in?
