In the thought experiment- whatever you would consider a valid/logical one, even if it straight up blew.
Outside of the hypothetical, and back to the anecdotal…I could be a very persuasive 100% rational objector to climate action. I do face to face work, I’ve heard it all. Plenty of the arguments can be zeroed out as batshit, but not all of them. Some of the remainder are challenging. Those anti-advocates who offer them are effective. Which is to say that I end up spending a lot of time genuinely asking myself those questions and can’t always answer them.
Just imagine how much better they’d be as opposition if they weren’t human. If they were 100% rational.
No easy rebuttals, hundreds more hours of labor to collect data to offer counter argument.
