I didn't mean to imply there are no examples of people being called out inappropriately. In a country of tends of millions on a planet of billions you can find examples of every type of human behaviour. I've just observed a lot more people complaining about legitimate objections than illegitimate ones. Like orders of magnitude more.

Don't ask people not to debate a topic. Just stop making debatable assertions. Problem solved.
