Yeah, fair point. I think a lot of academics familiar with the TPUSA watchlist were antecedently worried about something like this happening in their classes, but I can see that focusing on that angle in this case is at best missing the forest for the trees.

The US civil war will never be equalled for number of soldiers who wrote literary prose in their letters home and then blew their hands off. That level of literacy combined with that level of ignorance about explosive tech, combined with the unreliability of said tech, will never happen again.

My go-to is "look, if you want to talk about religious beliefs in a philosophy class, you have to do analytic theology" and learning what analytic theology amounts to usually suffices to shut up the kind of student who would consider TP'ing me.
