But what was printed demonstrates the risk

I agree that most commentators haven't actually thought their scenarios through. However they tend to be freaking out about hypotheticals that bring up real risks, even if the risks wouldn't actually play out like they initially thought.

So while I agree with you that they're wrong in fact, they are not entirely wrong in principle.

Cheers,
Ben
