That is an unreasonable position because the rules present themselves with a plain reading that appears incredibly explicit to the players in a way that hurls the GM under the hate bus by setting the stage that make the GM come off as if they are acting hostile and adversarial.).
I suspect DEFCON 1 knows this. Their position is that it doesn't matter how horrific or non-horrific the rules are if people are just going to ignore them anyways.
"Well how would you fix it" is also a harmful position that reveals how indefensible the rules are here by not even bothering to mention the bus being driven over the gm at the same time it sweeps the problem under the rug in order to switch the focus of attention elsewhere long enough to help maintain the bue position
