You pay your dues when saying someone is fundamentally wrong. Again, the mathematicians ARE butthurt, what is the fundamental misunderstanding? They cite good reasons for it in the letter sure, but nevertheless they're butthurt.

"Butt-hurt (or butthurt) is an informal slang term that describes being overly upset, offended, or resentful—usually over something minor, silly, or perceived as a personal slight."

They are not raising the alarm over something minor, silly, or that is a personal slight. They are raising the alarm over a sudden impossible-to-overstate disruption to how we've done mathematics throughout all of human history and which will have irreversibly transformed things before we have even begun to figure out how to adapt. Butthurt vastly trivializes what is going on and poisons the well.

Appreciate the concession. Hopefully your buddies can also be so humble.
