Just to ensure I understand your POV... if the poster
attacks Amazon on the basis that the article has all the relevant data or, alternatively, on the basis of some hypothetical additional "nuance not yet known" (your words), that poster is engaging in good and honest discussion.
But, OTOH, if a poster
defends Amazon, either hypothesizing that there is other unrevealed data or even proposing what it might be,
that poster is "attempting to shut down all conversation" (again, your words) and their words are only mean to be "derailing" (yet again, your words.)
There seems to be a bit of an inconsistency here, unless the consistency is that Amazon must be wrong.
