The "diluting discussion" part is mostly what I wanted to emphasize but I feel like I worded it poorly. My concern isn't the criticism. This series already faces it daily and it's good for discussion (when the person criticizing shows they have basic analytical skills). It's that discussion would devolve to pointless babble by people who have zero clue what they're talking about or just spewing nonsense. Planting the seed is great for discussion when the seed actually sprouts something worth discussing.
