Nothing wrong with advocating for something you think might work better for you.

Said every slave holder in 1850.
Geez, yeah, that's the same thing.

Plus, that wasn't stupid, it was immoral.
Point being that it is a simplistic justification which can be put forward by literally ANY interest group.

Well, you left out where I narrowed the focus to economic and other pragmatic issues. If you think it's immoral to advocate for their self-interest in this case, you're free to explain why. I don't think what they are doing is necessarily immoral, but I was arguing it isn't stupid, which it's not.
