> It's better to give the other person the benefit of doubt
I fully agree with this and actively encourage this behavior, but we also need to be careful with our words because 1) we're in a time that we're discouraging this kind of practice and 2) as stated above there are factions actively promoting confusion about this specific subject matter (specifically ones relevant to this conversation).
I would love if we could all argue in good faith and give the benefit of the doubt, but it should not be a working assumption.
