I didn't "conveniently forgot to mention" this. In fact, that was my entire point.

There is a tradeoff here. No matter which path we choose, we are going to lose one of the three legs of the triangle. We're currently losing age assurance, some members of society think that we're making the wrong tradeoff and that we should be making a different one, as is their right. Other members of society disagree, as is also their right.

I am intentionally not presenting an opinion on which tradeoff we should be choosing, I merely want to show that there is a tradeoff, and that whatever choice we make, that choice comes with consequences which we should be aware of and take seriously instead of dismissing entirely.
