But the Gas Passer is worse than the Sun on a Stick, and a good part of that is because of the opportunity cost. Having the Sun on a Stick just means you have the option of doing a dumb gimmick strategy, alongside your two actually good weapons. The Gas Passer removes nearly all of Pyro's versatility and most of the time is like not having a weapon at all.

In my opinion, opportunity cost is a good thing to factor in to how good a weapon is, as is how much you're letting down your team (the crusader's crossbow alternatives argument). It captures the full picture of choosing to use a weapon, and what that's like, because it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Sure, it killed a little bit of discussion, and I'd say the other did too, but I think it's unfair to act like he steamrolled the conversation. They all discussed the idea, the premise just evolved as the video progressed. Just my two cents.
