I fully side with 4Ferelden on this. Proxima, I see no basis to your claim that young people are impaired at processing complex arguments. Besides, even if what you said was true, that is still no reason to not include said complex arguments. I see no way in which including complex arguments would harm anyone. No one is forcing anyone to read anything. If people are truly incapable of processing complex arguments, they don't have to even read them. However, for those who can understand said arguments, they are benefitted by getting to read these arguments.

Your baseless claim about the intellectual capacity of people under 16 also has empirical evidence to the contrary. From my own experience, I could fully understand complex arguments when I was younger than 16.

Personally, I try to do what Toph's Fanboy is saying we should do. I try to include opposing views and debunk them. An example of this is the page on Lennart Boecken, where I debunk the viewpoints that his videos promote.
