I don't think one balances a lack of nuance with more lack of nuance.

One avoids nuance for clicks or to propagate a narrative, sew division, distract, etc.

Again. As I said in both my comments, I'm not criticizing the ban, I'm criticizing the absence of any communication regarding a plan for researching potentially constructive uses. As a reader, I can't tell if the Norwegian leaders have no plan, or if they didn't communicate a plan, or if they did and Reuters chose not to include it in the article.

Not everything has to be a culture war. When we are talking about our children's future it would be cool to do so pragmatically.

Eh, if the politician thinks this is the clarity of language necessary to send the message, I think that’s fine. Studying this and that can come later. It’s not like anyone is banning that research.
